Kato's laparoscopic endometriosis surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

In April I was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated. My surgeon at Jinja University Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for June. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $860, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $600 short. Doctors at Jinja University Hospital told me a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a retail assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $860 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a retail assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $600 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 • Post-operative medication: $20 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $200 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $295 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Kato
