Help me pay for ACL reconstruction at Nairobi Community Hospital

In August I was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc. My surgeon at Nairobi Community Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,700, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $1,200 short. Doctors at Nairobi Community Hospital told me a herniated spinal disc will get worse without ACL reconstruction. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,700 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a delivery rider have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 4 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy 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 $1,200 goes: • Hospital stay (3 nights): $490 • Physiotherapy sessions: $70 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $580 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
