Maria's valve repair surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Maria needs valve repair surgery at Novosibirsk Regional Medical Center and the family is $1,850 short of the hospital's estimate.

Maria was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in March. The surgeon at Novosibirsk Regional Medical Center recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,100, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,850 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Novosibirsk Regional Medical Center since March. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,100 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Maria 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.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Maria won't be able to drive, 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 $1,850 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $940
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $410
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $120
• Post-operative medication: $100
• Physiotherapy sessions: $160
• Travel and lodging for the family: $120
With deep gratitude,

Thinking of you and your family. Wishing Maria a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'll check back for the next update. Love from London.
I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 37 people at work.
Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Manila.
