Hellen was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in August. The surgeon at Likoni University Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,100, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,250 short. my daughter has been in and out of Likoni University Hospital since August. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,100 is more than we can find. While we wait, Hellen 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Hellen won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,250 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $450 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $500 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Physiotherapy sessions: $65 • Travel and lodging for the family: $100 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

    Best of luck, Daniel. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
