Surgery fund for Boris: septoplasty in Lviv

Boris was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in August. The surgeon at Lviv Regional Medical Center recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,900, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $950 short. my son has been in and out of Lviv Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,900 is more than we can find. While we wait, Boris 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. Recovery is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Boris 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 $950 goes: • Post-operative medication: $75 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $700 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $110 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 Every share and every dollar helps. - Halyna
