How can I find people to help fund 10 year old Reagan's medical care?


This child got a traumatic cataract following perfoating a corneoscleral injury.
We do not know the state of the retina but we want to give him a chance.
1. He will need cataract surgery with an intra ocular lens = 35,000 /=
2. If the retina is found detached , he will need to be referred to mengo for further retinal detachment surgery approximately 100,000/=
3. Post operatively , he will come for a review for a minimum of foru times but each visit , the medications do not exceed 10,000 /= U sh.
4 . When he has recovered , he will need spectacle correction for any refractive errors at a cost of about 100,000/=(bifocal) .

These are the expected hospital costs.
If they opt to sleep in a private room , this at rate of 10,000/= per night.
At each surgery, they may stay for 4 days.
Other costs I am not sure of are transport costs and personal maintainnce for the child and attendant while in hospital.

Best regards,

Dr . Tindyebwa. L.K
