Viktoria was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in August. The surgeon at Leipzig General Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $10,250, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $7,150 short. my wife has been in and out of Leipzig General Hospital since August. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $10,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Viktoria struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Viktoria won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $7,150 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,500 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,650 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $310 • Post-operative medication: $290 • Physiotherapy sessions: $250 • Travel and lodging for the family: $150 If you're reading this, thank you. - Pavel

Updates from Pavel

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 57% funded and I made the first payment toward hospital stay.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 34% now ($2,432). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,395 in total) I made the first payment toward surgeon and anesthesia fees. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

        So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

        • Hadi Joko HalimQuestion

          Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Viktoria.

          • Pavel Timur SidorenkoOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

            Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. surgeon and anesthesia fees comes first ($3,500) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. I'll keep the page updated.
