After a cleft palate needing repair, Dennis was cleared for gallbladder removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Embakasi
Dennis was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in November. The surgeon at Embakasi General Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and He is scheduled for February. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $870, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $650 short. my father has been in and out of Embakasi General Hospital since November. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $870 is more than we can find. While we wait, Dennis struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Dennis won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $650 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $310 • Post-operative medication: $75 • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $135 Thank you so much.
