Ewa was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in August. The surgeon at Kraków Regional Medical Center recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $2,400 short. my mother has been in and out of Kraków Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without knee replacement 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, Ewa struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 10 weeks. During that time Ewa won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $2,400 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,300 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $420 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $165 • Post-operative medication: $135 • Physiotherapy sessions: $270 • Travel and lodging for the family: $110 I hope life is good to you. - Julia
