Surgery fund for Zawadi: palate reconstruction surgery in Likoni

In January I was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction. My surgeon at Likoni Orthopedic Institute recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for April. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,150, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $800 short. Doctors at Likoni Orthopedic Institute told me a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. I work as a hotel cleaner, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,150 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a hotel cleaner have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 4 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone 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 $800 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $420 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $330 • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 • Post-operative medication: $20 If you're reading this, thank you.
