Ebo's knee replacement surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After a cleft palate needing repair, Ebo was cleared for knee replacement surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Ebo was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in July. The surgeon at Accra General Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $730, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $550 short.
my father has been in and out of Accra General Hospital since July. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $730 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Ebo 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.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Ebo won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $550 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $65
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $320
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80
• Travel and lodging for the family: $85
Thank you for reading my story.
