A scheduled a partial thyroidectomy in February is out of reach without help covering $950 of the cost.

In November I was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections. My surgeon at Nakuru Orthopedic Institute recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for February. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,350, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $950 short. Doctors at Nakuru Orthopedic Institute told me a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. I work as a call-centre agent, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,350 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a call-centre agent have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $950 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $310 • Physiotherapy sessions: $60 • Post-operative medication: $70 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $410 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Nakato
