Bukola was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in February. The surgeon at Kaduna Community Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $210, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $150 short. my daughter has been in and out of Kaduna Community Hospital since February. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $210 is more than we can find. While we wait, Bukola 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Bukola 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 $150 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $60 • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 • Post-operative medication: $45 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Emeka
