Surgery fund for Kidus: laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in Bahir Dar

Kidus was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in September. The surgeon at Saint Matthew Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $750, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $600 short. my son has been in and out of Saint Matthew Hospital since September. 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 $750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Kidus 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 3 weeks. During that time Kidus won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $600 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $70 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $440 • Post-operative medication: $15 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Tadesse
