Help Wambui pay for gallbladder removal at Mbarara General Hospital
A scheduled gallbladder removal in November is out of reach without help covering $800 of the cost.

Wambui was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in August. The surgeon at Mbarara General Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,350, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $800 short.
my mother has been in and out of Mbarara General Hospital since August. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,350 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Wambui 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 Wambui won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $800 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $260
• Post-operative medication: $25
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $400
• Physiotherapy sessions: $115
Thank you so much.
