Surgery fund for Irene: a craniotomy in Takoradi

Irene was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in August. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $930, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $700 short. my wife has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since August. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $930 is more than we can find. While we wait, Irene struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Irene won't be able to walk without help, 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: $550 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Post-operative medication: $55 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
