Help Bakari pay for a partial thyroidectomy at Nairobi Orthopedic Institute

Bakari was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in August. The surgeon at Nairobi Orthopedic Institute recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $750, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $600 short. my son has been in and out of Nairobi Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Bakari struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Bakari 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 $600 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $105 • Post-operative medication: $30 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $380 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Florence
