Help Muthoni pay for ACL reconstruction at Nakuru Community Hospital
Muthoni needs ACL reconstruction at Nakuru Community Hospital and the family is $450 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇰🇪 Nakuru, Nakuru, Kenya1,709 views
Muthoni was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in April. The surgeon at Nakuru Community Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $640, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $450 short.
my wife has been in and out of Nakuru Community Hospital since April. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $640 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Muthoni struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Muthoni won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $450 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $30
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $330
• Post-operative medication: $70
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $20
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. After 19 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Anaheim but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Wrocław.
Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Surakarta this morning. Thinking of Nakuru!
Sending love, Okello. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Jakarta.
