A partial thyroidectomy for Peace: covering what insurance won't

Peace was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in August. The surgeon at Abuja Orthopedic Institute recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $900, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $450 short. my sister has been in and out of Abuja Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $900 is more than we can find. While we wait, Peace 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 5 weeks. During that time Peace 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 $450 goes: • Hospital stay (2 nights): $340 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Yakubu
