Accra
Abigail was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in December. The surgeon at Accra General Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for February. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,000, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,200 short. my daughter has been in and out of Accra General Hospital since December. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Abigail struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 6 weeks. During that time Abigail won't be able to walk without help, 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 $1,200 goes: • Hospital stay (5 nights): $480 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $640 • Physiotherapy sessions: $80 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Kwasi
