Kwaku was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in July. The surgeon at Takoradi Community Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,400, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,200 short.
my son has been in and out of Takoradi Community Hospital since July. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,400 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Kwaku struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Kwaku won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $470
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $470
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100
• Post-operative medication: $35
• Physiotherapy sessions: $65
• Travel and lodging for the family: $60
With deep gratitude,
Mabel

Rooting for you, Mabel. Hope you get there.
How is Kwaku doing now?
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Rawalpindi.
Sending love, Mabel. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Takoradi
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Takoradi.
Take care, Mabel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Mumbai
