Grace was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in December. The surgeon at Ikeja General Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $310, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $250 short. my mother has been in and out of Ikeja General Hospital since December. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $310 is more than we can find. While we wait, Grace struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 5 weeks. During that time Grace won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $250 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65 • Physiotherapy sessions: $100 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Uche
