Bongani's laparoscopic cyst removal can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Bongani was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in August. The surgeon at Paarl General Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,550, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $2,050 short. my husband has been in and out of Paarl General Hospital since August. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,550 is more than we can find. While we wait, Bongani struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Bongani won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $2,050 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $780 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $760 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $160 • Post-operative medication: $105 • Physiotherapy sessions: $140 • Travel and lodging for the family: $105 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Nadia
