Surgery fund for Maryna: gallbladder removal in Lviv

Maryna was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in March. The surgeon at Lviv University Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,750, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,400 short. my daughter has been in and out of Lviv University Hospital since March. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Maryna struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 12 weeks. During that time Maryna won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,400 goes: • Hospital stay (3 nights): $750 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85 • Travel and lodging for the family: $60 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $505 Thanks for being kind about this.
