Bahir Dar
Dawit was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in August. The surgeon at Bahir Dar Orthopedic Institute recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,300, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,150 short. my son has been in and out of Bahir Dar Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,300 is more than we can find. While we wait, Dawit 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Dawit 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 $1,150 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $500 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $420 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $35 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Physiotherapy sessions: $75 • Travel and lodging for the family: $75 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Samuel
