Małgorzata was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in August. The surgeon at Poznań University Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,300, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $2,300 short. my wife has been in and out of Poznań University Hospital 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 $3,300 is more than we can find. While we wait, Małgorzata 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Małgorzata 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 $2,300 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,050 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $540 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $200 • Post-operative medication: $100 • Physiotherapy sessions: $340 • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 With deep gratitude, Łukasz
