Embakasi
Nabirye was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in March. The surgeon at Embakasi General Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $800 short. my daughter has been in and out of Embakasi General Hospital since March. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Nabirye 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. Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Nabirye won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $800 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $630 • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
