Help Helen pay for emergency hernia repair at Addis Ababa Community Hospital

Helen was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in August. The surgeon at Addis Ababa Community Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $950 short. my daughter has been in and out of Addis Ababa Community Hospital since August. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Helen 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Helen won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $400 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $340 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Post-operative medication: $30 • Physiotherapy sessions: $75 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Tesfaye
