Surgery fund for Githinji: laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in Entebbe

Githinji was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in May. The surgeon at Entebbe Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,200, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $950 short. my son has been in and out of Entebbe Orthopedic Institute since May. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Githinji struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 4 weeks. During that time Githinji won't be able to work a full shift, 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 (2 nights): $190 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $580 • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 Every share and every dollar helps.
