Help Hendrik pay for palate reconstruction surgery at Sandton University Hospital

Hendrik was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in August. The surgeon at Sandton University Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $440, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $350 short. my husband has been in and out of Sandton University Hospital since August. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $440 is more than we can find. While we wait, Hendrik struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 6 weeks. During that time Hendrik won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $350 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $140 • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 • Post-operative medication: $65 I hope life is good to you.
