Cataract surgery for Kateryna: covering what insurance won't

Kateryna was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in February. The surgeon at Kazan Orthopedic Institute recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,200, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $900 short. my daughter has been in and out of Kazan Orthopedic Institute since February. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Kateryna struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Kateryna won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did. Where the $900 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $105 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $710 • Travel and lodging for the family: $85 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Tatiana
