Help Valentyna pay for gallbladder removal at Moscow Regional Medical Center
After gallstones with repeated infections, Valentyna was cleared for gallbladder removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Valentyna was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in July. The surgeon at Moscow Regional Medical Center recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,600, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,950 short.
my mother has been in and out of Moscow Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,600 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.
Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Valentyna won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $1,950 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $160
• Physiotherapy sessions: $195
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $590
• Travel and lodging for the family: $110
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $895
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Moscow
is there anything that isn't money that would help Valentyna?
Wishing you the best, Maksym. This could happen to any of us. Love from Paarl!
So sorry you're going through this. Wishing Valentyna a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Take care
Best of luck, Maksym. Hope you get there. I hope September is when things finally get easier
