Vasyl was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in August. The surgeon at Moscow Orthopedic Institute recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,450, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,700 short.
my son has been in and out of Moscow Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,450 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Vasyl struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Vasyl won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $1,700 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $700
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $470
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $170
• Post-operative medication: $75
• Physiotherapy sessions: $195
• Travel and lodging for the family: $90
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Best of luck, Alyona. Get well soon. All the best.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Vasyl?
Thank you. If you're in Moscow I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Vasyl.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. surgeon and anesthesia fees is the biggest at $700. Good question.
Best of luck, Alyona. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Moscow.
hope things get better soon, Alyona. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Moscow. I'll ask around and let you know
hang in there. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Moscow.
Wishing you the best, Alyona. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Bang Khen.
I hope things turn around soon. Love from Epe.
