Kakamega
Otieno was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in May. The surgeon at Kakamega University Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $250, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $150 short. my brother has been in and out of Kakamega University Hospital since May. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Otieno 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. Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Otieno won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $150 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Nabirye
