Hauwa was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in October. The surgeon at Lagos Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $880, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $700 short. my sister has been in and out of Lagos Community Hospital since October. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $880 is more than we can find. While we wait, Hauwa struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 Hauwa won't be able to walk without help, 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 $700 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $550 • Travel and lodging for the family: $60 • Physiotherapy sessions: $90 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Kemi
