Anyango was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in July. The surgeon at Dodoma General Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,400, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $850 short. my mother has been in and out of Dodoma General Hospital since July. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Anyango struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 3 weeks. During that time Anyango won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $850 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 • Physiotherapy sessions: $90 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $240 • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $395 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
