Johannesburg

Jessica was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in November. The surgeon at Johannesburg University Hospital recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,150, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,900 short. my daughter has been in and out of Johannesburg University Hospital since November. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,150 is more than we can find. While we wait, Jessica 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Jessica 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 $1,900 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $810 • Physiotherapy sessions: $80 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $930 • Travel and lodging for the family: $80 Thanks for being kind about this. - Fatima
