A craniotomy for Chebet: covering what insurance won't

Chebet was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in August. The surgeon at Mombasa Community Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $310, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $250 short. my mother has been in and out of Mombasa Community Hospital since August. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $310 is more than we can find. While we wait, Chebet struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Chebet won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $250 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $115 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 Thanks for reading all this.
