Daniel was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in May. The surgeon at Accra University Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,100, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,250 short. my brother has been in and out of Accra University Hospital since May. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,100 is more than we can find. While we wait, Daniel struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Daniel won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,250 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $590 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $410 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Physiotherapy sessions: $90 • Travel and lodging for the family: $75 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

  • Stay strong, Yaa. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in Springfield but we're thinking of you. Blessings.

    • Good luck, Yaa. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
