Help Polina pay for septoplasty at Kyiv University Hospital
After endometriosis requiring surgery, Polina was cleared for septoplasty, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Polina was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in April. The surgeon at Kyiv University Hospital recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,150, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $700 short.
my mother has been in and out of Kyiv University Hospital since April. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,150 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Polina struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Polina won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $700 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $155
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $450
• Travel and lodging for the family: $95
Glad we found this place.
