Help me pay for palate reconstruction surgery at Addis Ababa Regional Medical Center

In July I was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections. My surgeon at Addis Ababa Regional Medical Center recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $190, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $150 short. Doctors at Addis Ababa Regional Medical Center told me a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. I work as a care assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $190 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a care assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 6 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 $150 goes: • Post-operative medication: $35 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Daniel
