Kiprop was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in August. The surgeon at Saint Francis Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $330, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $200 short. my husband has been in and out of Saint Francis Hospital since August. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $330 is more than we can find. While we wait, Kiprop 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 Kiprop won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $200 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $60 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 • Post-operative medication: $60 I hope life is good to you. - Nakato

  • Sending good thoughts, Nakato. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

    • So sorry you're going through this, Nakato. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Denpasar so I could bring a meal.
