Help Nafula pay for palate reconstruction surgery at Kinondoni Orthopedic Institute

Nafula was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in May. The surgeon at Kinondoni Orthopedic Institute recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $570, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $400 short. my mother has been in and out of Kinondoni Orthopedic Institute since May. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $570 is more than we can find. While we wait, Nafula struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 8 weeks. During that time Nafula won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. 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 $400 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $200 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $140 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $60 Glad we found this place. - Nancy
