Hannah was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in July. The surgeon at Tema University Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,100, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $550 short. my mother has been in and out of Tema University Hospital since July. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,100 is more than we can find. While we wait, Hannah struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Hannah 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 $550 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $50 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $435 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Eunice
