Help me pay for laparoscopic cyst removal at Tamale Community Hospital

In May I was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair. My surgeon at Tamale Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for June. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,600, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $950 short. Doctors at Tamale Community Hospital told me a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a restaurant cook, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,600 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a restaurant cook have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to drive 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: • Post-operative medication: $70 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $610 • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $200 Thank you for reading my story.
