Surgery fund for Serhiy: palate reconstruction surgery in Kharkiv

Serhiy was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in October. The surgeon at Kharkiv Orthopedic Institute recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,300, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,050 short. my son has been in and out of Kharkiv Orthopedic Institute since October. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,300 is more than we can find. While we wait, Serhiy struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 10 weeks. During that time Serhiy won't be able to drive, 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 $1,050 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $430 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $280 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Physiotherapy sessions: $115 • Travel and lodging for the family: $100 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Mykola
