Help Kwaku pay for ACL reconstruction at Accra Community Hospital

After endometriosis requiring surgery, Kwaku was cleared for ACL reconstruction, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Accra
Kwaku was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in June. The surgeon at Accra Community Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $560, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $450 short. my husband has been in and out of Accra Community Hospital since June. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $560 is more than we can find. While we wait, Kwaku struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Kwaku won't be able to walk without help, 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 $450 goes: • Hospital stay (3 nights): $300 • Post-operative medication: $25 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Hannah

    Sending good thoughts. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care!
