Bola's valve repair surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Bola was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in June. The surgeon at Gwagwalada Regional Medical Center recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,050, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $850 short. my mother has been in and out of Gwagwalada Regional Medical Center since June. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,050 is more than we can find. While we wait, Bola struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 7 weeks. During that time Bola won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $850 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $460 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $230 • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 I hope life is good to you. - Juliet
