Bukola was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in August. The surgeon at Lagos Regional Medical Center recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $830, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $500 short. my mother has been in and out of Lagos Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $830 is more than we can find. While we wait, Bukola struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 10 weeks. During that time Bukola won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 • Post-operative medication: $60 • Physiotherapy sessions: $100 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $285 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

      Best of luck, Abubakar. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.

      • Best of luck. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Mississauga.

        • Sending good thoughts. Wishing Bukola a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Lagos.
