A craniotomy for Modupe: covering what insurance won't

Modupe was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in August. The surgeon at Asaba Regional Medical Center recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $290, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $200 short. my mother has been in and out of Asaba Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $290 is more than we can find. While we wait, Modupe struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Modupe won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $200 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $120 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 If you're reading this, thank you. - Obiageli
