Tatiana was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in April. The surgeon at Kharkiv University Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $750 short. my daughter has been in and out of Kharkiv University Hospital since April. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Tatiana struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Tatiana won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $750 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $80 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $620 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Igor
