Emergency hernia repair for Tatiana: covering what insurance won't
A scheduled emergency hernia repair in November is out of reach without help covering $1,850 of the cost.

Tatiana was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in August. The surgeon at Saint Mary Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,100, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,850 short.
my wife has been in and out of Saint Mary Hospital since August. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,100 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Tatiana 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 10 weeks. During that time Tatiana 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 $1,850 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $890
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $580
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95
• Post-operative medication: $85
• Physiotherapy sessions: $155
• Travel and lodging for the family: $45
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Stay strong, Yevhen. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Tatiana.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. surgeon and anesthesia fees is the biggest at $890. Ask me anything else.
Take care. Wishing Tatiana a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Kyiv.
Hope it all works out, Yevhen. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Haifa
Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Machakos
