Victor was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in July. The surgeon at Likoni University Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,400, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $850 short. my son has been in and out of Likoni University Hospital since July. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Victor 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Victor won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $850 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $560 • Physiotherapy sessions: $90 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Travel and lodging for the family: $80 Thank you so much. - Akinyi

  1. 85% there. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Thank you.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($485 in total) the plan for surgeon and anesthesia fees is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. We're at 30% thanks to 3 of you. I met with the hospital and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.
