Ebuka was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in May. The surgeon at Benin City Community Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,000, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,000 short. my father has been in and out of Benin City Community Hospital since May. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ebuka 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. Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Ebuka 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 $1,000 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $490 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $290 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $60 • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 Thank you for reading my story. - Kehinde
