Surgery fund for Faith: ACL reconstruction in Eldoret

Faith was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in April. The surgeon at Eldoret Orthopedic Institute recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,200, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,100 short. my daughter has been in and out of Eldoret Orthopedic Institute since April. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Faith struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Faith won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,100 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $610 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $450 • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 Thanks for reading all this.
