Help Petru pay for a partial thyroidectomy at Cluj-Napoca Regional Medical Center
Petru needs a partial thyroidectomy at Cluj-Napoca Regional Medical Center and the family is $2,750 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇷🇴 Cluj, Romania2,299 views
Petru was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in July. The surgeon at Cluj-Napoca Regional Medical Center recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,500, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $2,750 short.
my husband has been in and out of Cluj-Napoca Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Petru struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Petru won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $2,750 goes:
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,150
• Physiotherapy sessions: $260
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $240
• Travel and lodging for the family: $120
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $980
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
