Help Muthoni pay for gallbladder removal at Mbale University Hospital

Muthoni was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in April. The surgeon at Mbale University Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,450, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,000 short. my mother has been in and out of Mbale University Hospital since April. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,450 is more than we can find. While we wait, Muthoni struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 12 weeks. During that time Muthoni won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,000 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $290 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $400 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90 • Post-operative medication: $25 • Physiotherapy sessions: $130 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Ssebuliba
