Help Emeka pay for emergency hernia repair at Bonny Regional Medical Center

Emeka was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in September. The surgeon at Bonny Regional Medical Center recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,850, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,100 short. my brother has been in and out of Bonny Regional Medical Center since September. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,850 is more than we can find. While we wait, Emeka struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 6 weeks. During that time Emeka won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,100 goes: • Hospital stay (2 nights): $290 • Post-operative medication: $25 • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 • Physiotherapy sessions: $125 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $610 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
