Help Esther pay for emergency hernia repair at Kampala General Hospital

Esther was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in August. The surgeon at Kampala General Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,300, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $900 short. my daughter has been in and out of Kampala General Hospital since August. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,300 is more than we can find. While we wait, Esther struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Esther won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $900 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $450 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $200 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Physiotherapy sessions: $60 • Travel and lodging for the family: $95 Glad we found this place. - Adhiambo
