Omondi was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in March. The surgeon at Kasarani Community Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,050, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $750 short. my father has been in and out of Kasarani Community Hospital since March. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,050 is more than we can find. While we wait, Omondi struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Omondi won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $750 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $90 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $105 • Travel and lodging for the family: $85 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $470 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
