Surgery fund for Bakari: knee replacement surgery in Mbarara

Bakari was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in July. The surgeon at Mbarara Community Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $930, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $700 short. my son has been in and out of Mbarara Community Hospital since July. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $930 is more than we can find. While we wait, Bakari struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Bakari won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $700 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $490 • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
