Help Lucian pay for hip replacement surgery at București Orthopedic Institute

Lucian was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in April. The surgeon at București Orthopedic Institute recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,450, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,150 short. my husband has been in and out of București Orthopedic Institute since April. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,450 is more than we can find. While we wait, Lucian struggles with daily life and can't drive. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Lucian won't be able to drive, 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 $1,150 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $830 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95 • Post-operative medication: $160 If you're reading this, thank you. - Ioana
