Surgery fund for Wekesa: laparoscopic cyst removal in Nakuru

In December I was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections. My surgeon at Nakuru Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for March. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $2,300, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $1,150 short. Doctors at Nakuru Regional Medical Center told me gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a security guard, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $2,300 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a security guard have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. I'll not be able to drive during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $1,150 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $330 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $530 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 • Post-operative medication: $70 • Physiotherapy sessions: $70 • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 Every share and every dollar helps.
