Onyango was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in July. The surgeon at Dodoma General Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $670, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $505 short.
my son has been in and out of Dodoma General Hospital since July. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $670 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Onyango struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Onyango won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $505 goes:
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $470
• Post-operative medication: $30
• Travel and lodging for the family: $5
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
