Surgery fund for Ruth: laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in Mwanza

Ruth was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in July. The surgeon at Mwanza Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $700 short. my daughter has been in and out of Mwanza Community Hospital since July. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ruth struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Ruth 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 $700 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $270 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $210 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $90 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 Thanks for being kind about this.
