Surgery fund for Netsanet: ACL reconstruction in Addis Ababa

Netsanet was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in May. The surgeon at Addis Ababa Community Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,150, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $700 short. my daughter has been in and out of Addis Ababa Community Hospital since May. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,150 is more than we can find. While we wait, Netsanet 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 10 weeks. During that time Netsanet 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 $700 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $65 • Post-operative medication: $25 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $230 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $305 Thank you for reading my story.
