Gallbladder removal for Henryk: covering what insurance won't
A scheduled gallbladder removal in November is out of reach without help covering $550 of the cost.

Henryk was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in August. The surgeon at Warsaw Regional Medical Center recommended gallbladder removal, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $790, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $550 short.
my husband has been in and out of Warsaw Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $790 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Henryk struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Henryk 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 $550 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $105
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $200
• Physiotherapy sessions: $245
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
