Help me pay for cataract surgery at Novosibirsk Orthopedic Institute

In September I was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. My surgeon at Novosibirsk Orthopedic Institute recommended cataract surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $4,400, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $2,650 short. Doctors at Novosibirsk Orthopedic Institute told me a benign brain tumor will get worse without cataract surgery. I work as a retail assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $4,400 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a retail assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $2,650 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,050 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,100 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $230 • Travel and lodging for the family: $115 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
