Help Valentyna pay for ACL reconstruction at Saint Matthew Hospital

Valentyna was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in August. The surgeon at Saint Matthew Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $420, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $250 short. my daughter has been in and out of Saint Matthew Hospital since August. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $420 is more than we can find. While we wait, Valentyna struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Valentyna won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $250 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65 • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 • Post-operative medication: $45 With deep gratitude, Timur
