Kariuki's septoplasty can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Kariuki was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in July. The surgeon at Saint Francis Hospital recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,300, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $900 short. my brother has been in and out of Saint Francis Hospital since July. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,300 is more than we can find. While we wait, Kariuki struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 Kariuki won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $900 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $730 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Naliaka
