Ifeoma was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in August. The surgeon at Lagos Regional Medical Center recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,300, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,050 short. my mother has been in and out of Lagos Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,300 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ifeoma 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Ifeoma 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 $1,050 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $360 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $490 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $100 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Hauwa
