Beatrice was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in April. The surgeon at Dar es Salaam Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $470, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $350 short. my wife has been in and out of Dar es Salaam Community Hospital since April. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $470 is more than we can find. While we wait, Beatrice struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Beatrice won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $350 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $260 • Physiotherapy sessions: $65 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 Every share and every dollar helps.

      • You're not alone, Opio. I hope things turn around soon. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Dar es Salaam.

        • You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
