Isaac was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in December. The surgeon at Lagos Orthopedic Institute recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,400, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $700 short. my son has been in and out of Lagos Orthopedic Institute since December. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Isaac struggles with daily life and can't drive. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Isaac won't be able to drive, 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 (5 nights): $490 • Physiotherapy sessions: $90 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Chukwuemeka
