Surgery fund for Lucy: septoplasty in Nairobi

Lucy was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in September. The surgeon at Nairobi University Hospital recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $950 short. my sister has been in and out of Nairobi University Hospital since September. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Lucy 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 Lucy won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $950 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Physiotherapy sessions: $115 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $670 Every share and every dollar helps.
