A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Gauteng. I'll ask around and let you know.
any chance of seeing the hospital estimate?
I do, the hospital estimate is with the HelpBLESS team. Happy to answer anything else about it. Good question.
So sorry you're going through this, Willem. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
any update on how things are going in Pretoria?
Sending good thoughts, Willem. Wishing Willem a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My husband and I read this together. All the best
What exactly is the $1,550 for?
Sure. The biggest one is physiotherapy sessions, $165. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Happy to explain more.
Keep going. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Bengaluru
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Willem?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about physiotherapy sessions, advice is welcome too. Thanks for looking so closely.
Thanks for sharing this, Willem. Wishing Willem a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
Keep going. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Pasig.

Sending love, Willem. Wishing Willem a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Good luck, Willem. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in Tarragona but we're thinking of you.
