Usman was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in March. The surgeon at Saint Francis Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,300, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $900 short. my father has been in and out of Saint Francis Hospital since March. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,300 is more than we can find. While we wait, Usman struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Usman won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $900 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $500 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $200 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Post-operative medication: $25 • Physiotherapy sessions: $50 • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Kayode
