Atim was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in July. The surgeon at Kampala Regional Medical Center recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,550, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,100 short. my sister has been in and out of Kampala Regional Medical Center since July. 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 $1,550 is more than we can find. While we wait, Atim struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 4 weeks. During that time Atim 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 $1,100 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $440 • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $520 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
