Claudiu's spinal decompression surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After a hernia that has become strangulated, Claudiu was cleared for spinal decompression surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Claudiu was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in March. The surgeon at Iași Orthopedic Institute recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,650, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $2,100 short.
my brother has been in and out of Iași Orthopedic Institute since March. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,650 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Claudiu struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Claudiu won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $2,100 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $790
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $730
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $220
• Post-operative medication: $60
• Physiotherapy sessions: $175
• Travel and lodging for the family: $125
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
