Halima's septoplasty can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After osteoarthritis in the right knee, Halima was cleared for septoplasty, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Halima was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in August. The surgeon at Likoni General Hospital recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $500 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Likoni General Hospital since August. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Halima struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Halima won't be able to walk without help, 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 $500 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $50
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $105
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $345
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from London.
Sending strength. Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Kasarani
Hang in there, Mercy. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Likoni.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Likoni.
Thank you. If you're in Likoni I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
Your post was clear and honest. After 19 years in customer support I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
hope things get better soon, Mercy. Get well soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Abbottabad.
rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Hope it all works out, Mercy. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Likoni.
