After endometriosis requiring surgery, Byaruhanga was cleared for laparoscopic cyst removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Byaruhanga was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in July. The surgeon at Embakasi Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,850, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,100 short.
my son has been in and out of Embakasi Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,850 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Byaruhanga struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 3 weeks. During that time Byaruhanga won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $400
• Physiotherapy sessions: $80
• Post-operative medication: $40
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $525
With deep gratitude,
Ruth
