Saba was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in April. The surgeon at Mekelle Regional Medical Center recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,300, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $650 short. my mother has been in and out of Mekelle Regional Medical Center since April. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,300 is more than we can find. While we wait, Saba 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Saba 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 $650 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $430 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $30 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $190 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Girma
