Surgery fund for David: laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in Kasarani
A scheduled laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in December is out of reach without help covering $900 of the cost.

David was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in September. The surgeon at Kasarani Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,800, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $900 short.
my brother has been in and out of Kasarani Community Hospital since September. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,800 is more than we can find.
While we wait, David struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 10 weeks. During that time David won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $900 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $630
• Post-operative medication: $70
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95
• Physiotherapy sessions: $105
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Stay strong. Wishing David a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
