Wambui was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in August. The surgeon at Nakuru University Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,300, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,050 short. my daughter has been in and out of Nakuru University Hospital since August. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,300 is more than we can find. While we wait, Wambui 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 12 weeks. During that time Wambui 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 $1,050 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $560 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $310 • Travel and lodging for the family: $85 • Post-operative medication: $95 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Mwangi
