Surgery fund for Johan: valve repair surgery in Bloemfontein

Johan was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in August. The surgeon at Bloemfontein General Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $800 short. my son has been in and out of Bloemfontein General Hospital since August. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Johan struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 5 weeks. During that time Johan won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $800 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $610 • Physiotherapy sessions: $110 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
