Akello was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in August. The surgeon at Nairobi Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,450, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,000 short. my daughter has been in and out of Nairobi Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,450 is more than we can find. While we wait, Akello struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Akello won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,000 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $350 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $520 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Florence
