After a benign brain tumor, Eunice was cleared for laparoscopic cyst removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Eunice was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in July. The surgeon at Entebbe General Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $860, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $600 short. my mother has been in and out of Entebbe General Hospital since July. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $860 is more than we can find. While we wait, Eunice 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Eunice 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 $600 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $430 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Physiotherapy sessions: $45 Every share and every dollar helps.
