Surgery fund for Onyango: septoplasty in Mombasa

Onyango was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in June. The surgeon at Mombasa Community Hospital recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $900, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $450 short. my son has been in and out of Mombasa Community Hospital since June. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $900 is more than we can find. While we wait, Onyango struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 Onyango won't be able to walk without help, 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 $450 goes: • Post-operative medication: $55 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $300 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95 Thank you so much. - Evans
