Inna was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in March. The surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,900, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $950 short. my mother has been in and out of Saint Catherine Hospital since March. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,900 is more than we can find. While we wait, Inna 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 5 weeks. During that time Inna 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 $950 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $430 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $240 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Physiotherapy sessions: $90 • Travel and lodging for the family: $90 Thank you for reading my story. - Mykola
