Grace was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in June. The surgeon at Epe University Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $630, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $500 short. my mother has been in and out of Epe University Hospital since June. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $630 is more than we can find. While we wait, Grace 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. Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Grace 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 $500 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $350 • Physiotherapy sessions: $90 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $60 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
