Help Isaac pay for cataract surgery at Lagos Orthopedic Institute

Isaac was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in May. The surgeon at Lagos Orthopedic Institute recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,600, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $950 short.
my husband has been in and out of Lagos Orthopedic Institute since May. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,600 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Isaac struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 8 weeks. During that time Isaac 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 $950 goes:
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $290
• Physiotherapy sessions: $60
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90
• Post-operative medication: $65
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $445
Thanks for being kind about this.
