Help Adhiambo pay for spinal decompression surgery at Nairobi Community Hospital
After a large ovarian cyst, Adhiambo was cleared for spinal decompression surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Adhiambo was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in July. The surgeon at Nairobi Community Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,050, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,650 short.
my mother has been in and out of Nairobi Community Hospital since July. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,050 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Adhiambo struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 5 weeks. During that time Adhiambo 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 $1,650 goes:
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $570
• Post-operative medication: $70
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100
• Physiotherapy sessions: $130
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $780

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Adhiambo!
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. hospital stay (5 nights) comes first ($570) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.
Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Nafula. Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Nakuru.
Sending strength, Nafula. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Casablanca.
Take care, Nafula. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Nairobi.
you're not alone, Nafula. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Melbourne so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
