Neema's laparoscopic endometriosis surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Neema needs laparoscopic endometriosis surgery at Mukono Regional Medical Center and the family is $900 short of the hospital's estimate.

Neema was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in August. The surgeon at Mukono Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,150, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $900 short.
my mother has been in and out of Mukono Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,150 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Neema struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 Neema 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 $900 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $260
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $420
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40
• Post-operative medication: $60
• Physiotherapy sessions: $65
• Travel and lodging for the family: $55

Take care, Sarah. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
Best of luck, Sarah. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Hope the doctors have good news. Please keep us posted. Love from Kinondoni
is there anything that isn't money that would help Neema?
Thinking of you and your family, Sarah. This could happen to any of us.
Hang in there. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Lahore but we're thinking of you. All the best
Keep going. Shared this with my family. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Mukono
hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
Rooting for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Mukono.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
