Help Gashaw pay for gallbladder removal at Addis Ababa General Hospital

Gashaw was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in July. The surgeon at Addis Ababa General Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $950 short. my father has been in and out of Addis Ababa General Hospital since July. 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 $1,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Gashaw 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Gashaw won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $35 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $450 • Physiotherapy sessions: $65 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $365 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Mekdes
