Elżbieta was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in August. The surgeon at Gliwice Regional Medical Center recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,300, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,600 short. my daughter has been in and out of Gliwice Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,300 is more than we can find. While we wait, Elżbieta struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Elżbieta won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,600 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $185 • Post-operative medication: $65 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,100 • Physiotherapy sessions: $250 I hope life is good to you. - Aleksandra

        so sorry you're going through this, Aleksandra. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
