Gallbladder removal for Peter: covering what insurance won't

Peter was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in December. The surgeon at Mbale Orthopedic Institute recommended gallbladder removal, and He is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,150, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $900 short. my father has been in and out of Mbale Orthopedic Institute since December. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,150 is more than we can find. While we wait, Peter 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Peter won't be able to drive, 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 $900 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $500 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $195 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Physiotherapy sessions: $65 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 Thank you for reading my story.
