Help Brian pay for a craniotomy at Machakos Regional Medical Center

Brian was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in July. The surgeon at Machakos Regional Medical Center recommended a craniotomy, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $750, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $450 short. my father has been in and out of Machakos Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Brian 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 5 weeks. During that time Brian 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 $450 goes: • Post-operative medication: $30 • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $290 • Physiotherapy sessions: $35 Thank you for reading my story. - Achieng
