Surgery fund for Upendo: laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in Kakamega

Upendo was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in March. The surgeon at Kakamega Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,600, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,200 short. my wife has been in and out of Kakamega Orthopedic Institute since March. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,600 is more than we can find. While we wait, Upendo struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Upendo won't be able to walk without help, 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 $1,200 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $580 • Physiotherapy sessions: $55 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $440 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 Thank you so much.
