Help Chinedu pay for a partial thyroidectomy at Kaduna Regional Medical Center

Chinedu was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in July. The surgeon at Kaduna Regional Medical Center recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,100, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $550 short. my husband has been in and out of Kaduna Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,100 is more than we can find. While we wait, Chinedu struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 Chinedu won't be able to drive, 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 $550 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $400 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Physiotherapy sessions: $80 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Chidi
