In January I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Kampala University Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and I have been placed on the schedule for May. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,300, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $650 short. Doctors at Kampala University Hospital told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without emergency hernia repair. I work as a call-centre agent, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,300 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 7 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 $650 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $60 • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $110 • Post-operative medication: $25 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $415 Glad we found this place. - Hamisi
