Help Njeri pay for hip replacement surgery at Embakasi Community Hospital

Njeri was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in August. The surgeon at Embakasi Community Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,150, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $900 short. my mother has been in and out of Embakasi Community Hospital since August. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,150 is more than we can find. While we wait, Njeri 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. Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Njeri 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 $900 goes: • Post-operative medication: $60 • Travel and lodging for the family: $75 • Physiotherapy sessions: $60 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $705 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Ruth
