Help Ruth pay for spinal decompression surgery at Kisumu Regional Medical Center

Ruth was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in August. The surgeon at Kisumu Regional Medical Center recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $690, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $550 short. my mother has been in and out of Kisumu Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $690 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ruth struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 10 weeks. During that time Ruth won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $550 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $340 • Physiotherapy sessions: $90 • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 • Post-operative medication: $70 Glad we found this place.
