Embakasi
Ouma was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in March. The surgeon at Embakasi Community Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,050, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $800 short. my brother has been in and out of Embakasi Community Hospital since March. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,050 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ouma 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Ouma 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 $800 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $390 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $230 • Physiotherapy sessions: $80 Every share and every dollar helps.

  1. Thank you all. We're at 8% now ($65). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward surgeon and anesthesia fees.
