Natalia's knee replacement surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
A scheduled knee replacement surgery in November is out of reach without help covering $1,050 of the cost.

Natalia was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in August. The surgeon at Novosibirsk Community Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,100, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,050 short.
my wife has been in and out of Novosibirsk Community Hospital since August. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,100 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Natalia 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.
Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Natalia won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $1,050 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $105
• Post-operative medication: $50
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $895
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

You're not alone. Wishing Natalia a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Bronx.
Keep going. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours.
Hang in there. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Put this on a community board in Chandler this morning. Love from Chandler
Thinking of you and your family, Yevhen. Hope you get there. Thinking of Novosibirsk.
