Eden was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in August. The surgeon at Addis Ababa Orthopedic Institute recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,900, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $950 short. my daughter has been in and out of Addis Ababa Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,900 is more than we can find. While we wait, Eden struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Eden won't be able to drive, 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 $950 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $90 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $420 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $400 • Post-operative medication: $40 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
