Surgery fund for Anna: a craniotomy in Moscow

Anna was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in March. The surgeon at Moscow General Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $380, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $300 short. my wife has been in and out of Moscow General Hospital since March. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $380 is more than we can find. While we wait, Anna struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 5 weeks. During that time Anna won't be able to drive, 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 $300 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85 • Post-operative medication: $100 • Travel and lodging for the family: $115 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
