Surgery fund for Githinji: spinal decompression surgery in Kinondoni

Githinji was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in August. The surgeon at Kinondoni Orthopedic Institute recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,100, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $550 short. my son has been in and out of Kinondoni Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,100 is more than we can find. While we wait, Githinji 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Githinji won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $550 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90 • Post-operative medication: $20 • Travel and lodging for the family: $20 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $325 Every share and every dollar helps. - Faith
