Septoplasty for Anastasia: covering what insurance won't
A scheduled septoplasty in November is out of reach without help covering $450 of the cost.
🇺🇦 Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine1,718 views
In August I was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. My surgeon at Kyiv General Hospital recommended septoplasty, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $750, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $450 short.
Doctors at Kyiv General Hospital told me a benign brain tumor will get worse without septoplasty. I work as a care assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $750 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a care assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. I'll not be able to stand for more than ten minutes during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $450 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100
• Travel and lodging for the family: $55
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $295
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thinking of you and your family, Anastasia. Looking forward to the next update. All the best
Keep going, Anastasia. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Auckland donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Sent it to 24 people at work. All the best.
Keep going, Anastasia. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Kyiv.
Wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Kyiv.
