Surgery fund for Samuel: laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in Bahir Dar

Samuel was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in July. The surgeon at Bahir Dar Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $790, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $550 short. my son has been in and out of Bahir Dar Regional Medical Center 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 $790 is more than we can find. While we wait, Samuel 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 12 weeks. During that time Samuel 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 $550 goes: • Hospital stay (3 nights): $160 • Physiotherapy sessions: $90 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $235 If you're reading this, thank you.
