Help Omondi pay for spinal decompression surgery at Kasarani Orthopedic Institute

Omondi was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in September. The surgeon at Kasarani Orthopedic Institute recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,000 short. my husband has been in and out of Kasarani Orthopedic Institute since September. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Omondi struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Omondi won't be able to walk without help, 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: $520 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $240 • Travel and lodging for the family: $80 • Physiotherapy sessions: $65 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Dorcas
