Kofi was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in August. The surgeon at Tema Community Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,050, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $750 short. my son has been in and out of Tema Community Hospital since August. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,050 is more than we can find. While we wait, Kofi struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 12 weeks. During that time Kofi won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $750 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $540 • Post-operative medication: $30 • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $60 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
