Help me pay for palate reconstruction surgery at Embakasi Community Hospital

In August I was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc. My surgeon at Embakasi Community Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $2,250, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $1,350 short. Doctors at Embakasi Community Hospital told me a herniated spinal disc will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. I work as a warehouse packer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $2,250 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a warehouse packer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 6 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 $1,350 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $750 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $390 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 • Post-operative medication: $30 • Physiotherapy sessions: $80 • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
