Surgery fund for Grace: cataract surgery in Nairobi

Grace was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in August. The surgeon at Nairobi General Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $830, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $500 short. my mother has been in and out of Nairobi General Hospital since August. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $830 is more than we can find. While we wait, Grace struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 3 weeks. During that time Grace won't be able to drive, 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 $500 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $80 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $365 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Karanja
