Help Akinyi pay for hip replacement surgery at Likoni Community Hospital
A scheduled hip replacement surgery in November is out of reach without help covering $900 of the cost.
🇰🇪 Likoni, Mombasa, Kenya620 views
Akinyi was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in August. The surgeon at Likoni Community Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,800, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $900 short.
my mother has been in and out of Likoni Community Hospital since August. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,800 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Akinyi 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.
The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Akinyi won't be able to work a full shift, 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:
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $220
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $460
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $135
• Post-operative medication: $85
With deep gratitude,
Odhiambo

Thinking of you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best!
Good luck, Odhiambo. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Likoni
Hope it all works out, Odhiambo. Wishing Akinyi a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Best of luck, Odhiambo. Shared this with my family. Love from Melbourne
Wishing you the best, Odhiambo. Hope you get there. Take care.
