Surgery fund for Bakari: septoplasty in Mombasa

Bakari was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in May. The surgeon at Mombasa Regional Medical Center recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $750 short. my husband has been in and out of Mombasa Regional Medical Center since May. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Bakari struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Bakari won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $750 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $350 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $240 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 • Post-operative medication: $50 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
