Surgery fund for Hanna: a craniotomy in Adama

Hanna was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in November. The surgeon at Saint Matthew Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for February. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,400, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $700 short. my mother has been in and out of Saint Matthew Hospital since November. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Hanna struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 12 weeks. During that time Hanna 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 $700 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $320 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $220 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 • Post-operative medication: $25 • Physiotherapy sessions: $45 • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Tesfaye
