Sara was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in July. The surgeon at Mekelle University Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,800, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $900 short. my mother has been in and out of Mekelle University Hospital since July. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,800 is more than we can find. While we wait, Sara struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 4 weeks. During that time Sara won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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: • Post-operative medication: $30 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $520 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $270 • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Selamawit
