Femi's knee replacement surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Femi was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in April. The surgeon at Kano Regional Medical Center recommended knee replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $830, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $500 short. my father has been in and out of Kano Regional Medical Center since April. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $830 is more than we can find. While we wait, Femi struggles with daily life and can't drive. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Femi won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $500 goes: • Post-operative medication: $35 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $410 • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 Every share and every dollar helps.
