Kevin was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in May. The surgeon at Kikuyu Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $270, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $200 short. my father has been in and out of Kikuyu Orthopedic Institute since May. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $270 is more than we can find. While we wait, Kevin struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Kevin 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 $200 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $105 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 Glad we found this place.
