Kisumu
Ochieng was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in August. The surgeon at Kisumu University Hospital recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,900, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,150 short. my father has been in and out of Kisumu University Hospital since August. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,900 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ochieng struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 12 weeks. During that time Ochieng won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $1,150 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $710 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $250 • Physiotherapy sessions: $90 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Hamisi
