Kayode was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in September. The surgeon at Abuja Regional Medical Center recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,200, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,100 short. my son has been in and out of Abuja Regional Medical Center since September. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Kayode struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 Kayode won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $1,100 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $340 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $480 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Physiotherapy sessions: $75 • Travel and lodging for the family: $85 Thanks for being kind about this. - Ifeanyi
