Mussa's ACL reconstruction can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Mussa needs ACL reconstruction at Nairobi Regional Medical Center and the family is $1,350 short of the hospital's estimate.

Mussa was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in July. The surgeon at Nairobi Regional Medical Center recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,700, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,350 short.
my husband has been in and out of Nairobi Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,700 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Mussa 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.
The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Mussa 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 $1,350 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $600
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $430
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55
• Post-operative medication: $70
• Physiotherapy sessions: $125
• Travel and lodging for the family: $70

Sending love, Eunice. Your post was clear and honest. I hope October is when things finally get easier. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't give up. Love from London.
So sorry you're going through this. Get well soon. After 14 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mussa!
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. surgeon and anesthesia fees comes first ($600) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Ask me anything else.
Take care, Eunice. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Keep going, Eunice. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. God bless
You're not alone, Eunice. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Wishing you the best. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
