Surgery fund for Konstantin: valve repair surgery in Moscow

Konstantin was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in May. The surgeon at Moscow General Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,450, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,700 short. my father has been in and out of Moscow General Hospital since May. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,450 is more than we can find. While we wait, Konstantin struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 3 weeks. During that time Konstantin won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $1,700 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $145 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,150 • Physiotherapy sessions: $125 • Post-operative medication: $80 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $200 Thanks for being kind about this. - Vasyl
