Surgery fund for Serhiy: valve repair surgery in Saint Petersburg
After a hip fracture that never healed properly, Serhiy was cleared for valve repair surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Serhiy was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in April. The surgeon at Saint Petersburg University Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,300, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $2,150 short.
my father has been in and out of Saint Petersburg University Hospital since April. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,300 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Serhiy struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 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 $2,150 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $100
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,150
• Travel and lodging for the family: $75
• Post-operative medication: $125
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $700
If you're reading this, thank you.
