Halima was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in June. The surgeon at Saint Joseph Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $880, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $700 short. my daughter has been in and out of Saint Joseph Hospital since June. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $880 is more than we can find. While we wait, Halima struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Halima 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 $700 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $320 • Post-operative medication: $30 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $250 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100 Glad we found this place. - Uchenna

  • Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Dnipro donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Dnipro.

    • Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Badagry.

      • Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 26 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
