Odhiambo's emergency hernia repair can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Odhiambo was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in July. The surgeon at Kampala Regional Medical Center recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $750, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $600 short. my father has been in and out of Kampala Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Odhiambo struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 4 weeks. During that time Odhiambo won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $600 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $250 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $185 • Post-operative medication: $20 • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $105 Thank you so much. - Tumusiime
