Naledi's knee replacement surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Naledi needs knee replacement surgery at Soweto Orthopedic Institute and the family is $1,450 short of the hospital's estimate.

Naledi was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in March. The surgeon at Soweto Orthopedic Institute recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,900, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,450 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Soweto Orthopedic Institute since March. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,900 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Naledi struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Naledi won't be able to walk without help, 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 $1,450 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $480
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $800
• Physiotherapy sessions: $170
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
