Sofia was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in February. The surgeon at Kyiv General Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $750, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $600 short. my sister has been in and out of Kyiv General Hospital since February. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Sofia struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 7 weeks. During that time Sofia won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $600 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $500 • Post-operative medication: $45 Thanks for reading all this. - Oksana
