Spanish Town
Oneil was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in June. The surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,400, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,450 short. my brother has been in and out of Saint Catherine Hospital since June. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Oneil struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Oneil 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 $1,450 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $460 • Physiotherapy sessions: $200 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $185 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $605 Thanks for reading all this. - Basil

      A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Saint Catherine. I'll ask around and let you know.

        is there anything that isn't money that would help Oneil?

        • Basil MillerOwnerAnswer

          Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about hospital stay (4 nights), advice is welcome too. Fair thing to want to know.

            you're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.

            • Thabo B. Pretorius

              So sorry you're going through this, Basil. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Embakasi so I could bring a meal. All the best
