Pretoria

Lwazi was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in April. The surgeon at Pretoria University Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,650, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,150 short. my sister has been in and out of Pretoria University Hospital since April. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,650 is more than we can find. While we wait, Lwazi struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Lwazi won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $1,150 goes: • Hospital stay (5 nights): $660 • Post-operative medication: $105 • Physiotherapy sessions: $220 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90 • Travel and lodging for the family: $75 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Precious
