Stanislav's valve repair surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

In May I was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction. My surgeon at Moscow University Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for July. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,650, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $1,300 short. Doctors at Moscow University Hospital told me a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without valve repair surgery. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,650 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a delivery rider have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to drive during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $1,300 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $710 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $540 • Post-operative medication: $50 If you're reading this, thank you.
