Athumani's a craniotomy can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Athumani needs a craniotomy at Kinondoni University Hospital and the family is $650 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇹🇿 Kinondoni, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania98 views
Athumani was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in May. The surgeon at Kinondoni University Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and He is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,100, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $650 short.
my father has been in and out of Kinondoni University Hospital since May. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,100 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Athumani 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.
Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Athumani 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 $650 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $25
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80
• Physiotherapy sessions: $65
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $480
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
