Bosco Ringtho Needs Brain Surgery

Donation protected
Our longtime friend (and driver) Bosco is in dire need of emergency brain surgery in Kampala, Uganda. He has hemoraging and clots due to high blood pressure. While they have him on meds for his BP, he has been suffering from debilitating headaches for 2 weeks. They finally did a CT scan and discovered the bleeding yesterday. This is extremely critical and his condition is deteriorating rapidly. The hospital tried to do surgery on Jan. 1 and were unable to stabilize him long enough to complete it. He is in Case Hospital in Kampala. We know that his expenses right now are $3000 for the hospital stay and $3000 for the surgery...for a total of $6000 (and rising). Please help us raise funds for our friend...please pray for him, his family and that the doctors have wisdom in how to proceed. We love Bosco dearly. We pray for healing and peace. Thank you so much for your gifts and prayers.

To the Go Fund Me Admins:  

My name is Kimberly Krauk

I am from Charleston, SC

Ringtho Bosco was my dear friend & driver in Uganda for almost 10 years.

These funds were raised to help Bosco with emergency surgery and medical expenses.  He died on Jan. 3rd, 2016 before surgery was able to be performed.

I am withdrawing these funds for 2 purposes:

1.  I am paying his medical bills at Case Medical Center in Kampala, Uganda and have an invoice to prove the exact totals.  

2. The remaining funds (minus the GoFundMe transaction fees & the bank foreign wiring transfer fees) will be directly sent to two family members to help them with final expenses and to help provide food, shelter & schooling fees for Bosco's children.   These funds will be sent via my business bank account or Western Union and I will provide exact documentation on this site for full disclosure to both the family and those who donated.
