Help Volodymyr pay for gallbladder removal at Zaporizhzhia Regional Medical Center

Volodymyr was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in September. The surgeon at Zaporizhzhia Regional Medical Center recommended gallbladder removal, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,200, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,100 short. my son has been in and out of Zaporizhzhia Regional Medical Center since September. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without gallbladder 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, Volodymyr 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Volodymyr won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,100 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $490 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $260 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $105 • Post-operative medication: $95 • Physiotherapy sessions: $125 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Vera
