Surgery fund for Dagmawit: gallbladder removal in Mekelle

Dagmawit was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in June. The surgeon at Mekelle General Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $930, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $650 short. my sister has been in and out of Mekelle General Hospital since June. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $930 is more than we can find. While we wait, Dagmawit struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 7 weeks. During that time Dagmawit 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 $650 goes: • Hospital stay (3 nights): $350 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $270 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $30 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
