Mukono
Daniel was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in April. The surgeon at Mukono General Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,350, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $950 short. my son has been in and out of Mukono General Hospital since April. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,350 is more than we can find. While we wait, Daniel struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 3 weeks. During that time Daniel won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $950 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $470 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $340 • Physiotherapy sessions: $70 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 • Travel and lodging for the family: $20 Thank you so much.
