Surgery fund for Adwoa: palate reconstruction surgery in Accra

Adwoa was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in April. The surgeon at Accra Regional Medical Center recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $750, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $450 short. my mother has been in and out of Accra Regional Medical Center since April. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Adwoa 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Adwoa won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $450 goes: • Post-operative medication: $45 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $330 • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $25 Thanks for reading all this.
