Larisa was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in April. The surgeon at București University Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,800, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,250 short. my mother has been in and out of București University Hospital since April. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,800 is more than we can find. While we wait, Larisa struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Larisa won't be able to walk without help, 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 $1,250 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $155 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $930 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $165 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

      is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Larisa.

        It's all in the list in the story. physiotherapy sessions is the big one at $155, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
