Sorin was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in March. The surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,400, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,100 short. my father has been in and out of Saint Elizabeth Hospital since March. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Sorin 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Sorin won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,100 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $760 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $185 • Travel and lodging for the family: $155 Thanks for reading all this.

    Thinking of you and your family, Maria. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of București

      Is there anything that isn't money that would help Sorin?

        Thank you. If you're in București I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.

    • So sorry you're going through this, Maria. Gave what I could, wish it was more.

        How is Sorin doing now?

        • It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.

          • Rooting for you. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.

            • Praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Nairobi this morning. God bless.
