Roman was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in January. The surgeon at Kyiv General Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,200, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,550 short. my son has been in and out of Kyiv General Hospital since January. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Roman struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 7 weeks. During that time Roman won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,550 goes: • Hospital stay (2 nights): $590 • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $700 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85 • Post-operative medication: $80 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Vera
