Help Ifeoma pay for hip replacement surgery at Abuja Community Hospital
After a hernia that has become strangulated, Ifeoma was cleared for hip replacement surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Ifeoma was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in August. The surgeon at Abuja Community Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $500, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $350 short.
my sister has been in and out of Abuja Community Hospital since August. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Ifeoma struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 3 weeks. During that time Ifeoma 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 $350 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $210
• Post-operative medication: $75
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Los Angeles.
take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 32 people at work. God bless.
Hope things get better soon. Wishing Ifeoma a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Greetings from Aurora!
Sending strength, Tunde. Hope the doctors have good news.
Keep going, Tunde. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Istanbul
