Hip replacement surgery for Wafula: covering what insurance won't

Wafula was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in February. The surgeon at Saint Joseph Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,150, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $700 short. my father has been in and out of Saint Joseph Hospital since February. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,150 is more than we can find. While we wait, Wafula struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 10 weeks. During that time Wafula won't be able to drive, 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: $115 • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $390 • Post-operative medication: $65 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 Thanks for being kind about this.
