Stepan's laparoscopic endometriosis surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Stepan was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in December. The surgeon at Moscow Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for February. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $2,250 short. my son has been in and out of Moscow Regional Medical Center since December. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Stepan struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Stepan won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $2,250 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $850 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $810 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $195 • Post-operative medication: $65 • Physiotherapy sessions: $240 • Travel and lodging for the family: $90 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Marina
