Lina's hip replacement surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After a large ovarian cyst, Lina was cleared for hip replacement surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Lina was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in June. The surgeon at Düsseldorf General Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,500, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $4,450 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Düsseldorf General Hospital since June. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Lina struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 6 weeks. During that time Lina won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $4,450 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,600
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,300
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $570
• Post-operative medication: $145
• Physiotherapy sessions: $700
• Travel and lodging for the family: $135
Thanks for reading all this.
