Robel's a craniotomy can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After a deviated septum causing chronic infections, Robel was cleared for a craniotomy, but the bill is more than we can manage.
🇪🇹 Addis Ababa, Ethiopia1,603 views
Robel was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in April. The surgeon at Addis Ababa Regional Medical Center recommended a craniotomy, and He is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,050, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $850 short.
my father has been in and out of Addis Ababa Regional Medical Center since April. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,050 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Robel 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 3 weeks. During that time Robel 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 $850 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45
• Post-operative medication: $30
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $310
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $465
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

How is Robel doing now?
take care. Your post was clear and honest. After 30 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Johannesburg.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Robel?
Wishing you peace. Shared this with my family. After 14 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Good luck, Yodit. Hope the doctors have good news. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Yodit. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Warren
Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Addis Ababa.
