Help me pay for laparoscopic cyst removal at Mombasa University Hospital

In June I was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction. My surgeon at Mombasa University Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $470, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $350 short. Doctors at Mombasa University Hospital told me a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a taxi driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $470 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a taxi driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift 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 $350 goes: • Post-operative medication: $30 • Physiotherapy sessions: $145 • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $135 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Joyce
