Adewale was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in April. The surgeon at Lagos General Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $810, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $650 short. my son has been in and out of Lagos General Hospital since April. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $810 is more than we can find. While we wait, Adewale struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 Adewale won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $650 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $120 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $445 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
