A scheduled emergency hernia repair in October is out of reach without help covering $700 of the cost.

Ochieng was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in August. The surgeon at Kasarani Regional Medical Center recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,150, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $700 short.
my father has been in and out of Kasarani Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,150 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Ochieng struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Ochieng won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $700 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $85
• Travel and lodging for the family: $25
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $590
Thanks for being kind about this.
