Surgery fund for Volodymyr: knee replacement surgery in Yekaterinburg

Volodymyr was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in January. The surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,950, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,350 short. my husband has been in and out of Saint Catherine Hospital since January. 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 $1,950 is more than we can find. While we wait, Volodymyr struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 10 weeks. During that time Volodymyr won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,350 goes: • Post-operative medication: $100 • Travel and lodging for the family: $160 • Physiotherapy sessions: $180 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $170 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $740 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
