Surgery fund for Elżbieta: laparoscopic cyst removal in Warsaw
A scheduled laparoscopic cyst removal in February is out of reach without help covering $1,650 of the cost.
🇵🇱 Masovia, Poland425 views
Elżbieta was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in November. The surgeon at Warsaw University Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for February. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,050, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,650 short.
my sister has been in and out of Warsaw University Hospital since November. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,050 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Elżbieta 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 5 weeks. During that time Elżbieta 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 $1,650 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $170
• Physiotherapy sessions: $270
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $125
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $910
• Post-operative medication: $175

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Elżbieta.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. travel and lodging for the family comes first ($170) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. I'll keep the page updated.
sending good thoughts, Maja. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Fortaleza.
thanks for sharing this, Maja. Shared this with my family. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
