Surgery fund for Nakato: laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in Nairobi

Nakato was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in March. The surgeon at Nairobi Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,800, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $900 short. my daughter has been in and out of Nairobi Community Hospital since March. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,800 is more than we can find. While we wait, Nakato struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 5 weeks. During that time Nakato won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $900 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $195 • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $470 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
