Surgery fund for Simiyu: cataract surgery in Nakuru

Simiyu was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in August. The surgeon at Nakuru Orthopedic Institute recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $800 short. my father has been in and out of Nakuru Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without cataract 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, Simiyu struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 4 weeks. During that time Simiyu won't be able to work a full shift, 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: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $290 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $260 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95 • Post-operative medication: $65 • Physiotherapy sessions: $50 • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
