Irena's knee replacement surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
A scheduled knee replacement surgery in October is out of reach without help covering $2,300 of the cost.

Irena was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in July. The surgeon at Warsaw Regional Medical Center recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,600, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $2,300 short.
my mother has been in and out of Warsaw Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,600 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Irena struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 4 weeks. During that time Irena 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 $2,300 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,150
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $690
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $130
• Post-operative medication: $65
• Physiotherapy sessions: $135
• Travel and lodging for the family: $130
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending strength. Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Sending good thoughts. Wishing Irena a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Take care.
Good luck, Julia. Hope the doctors have good news. Take care!
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Saint Petersburg
Sending love. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Guadalupe so I could bring a meal
Stay strong, Julia. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Kansas City this morning. Take care.
Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Warsaw.
