Help Kwesi pay for a craniotomy at Saint Francis Hospital

Kwesi was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in February. The surgeon at Saint Francis Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and He is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $190, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $150 short. my husband has been in and out of Saint Francis Hospital since February. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $190 is more than we can find. While we wait, Kwesi 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. Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Kwesi 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 $150 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Post-operative medication: $35 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Irene
