Help Kelechi pay for hip replacement surgery at Awka University Hospital

Kelechi was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in February. The surgeon at Awka University Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,050, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $850 short. my son has been in and out of Awka University Hospital since February. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,050 is more than we can find. While we wait, Kelechi struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 12 weeks. During that time Kelechi won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $850 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $280 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $440 • Post-operative medication: $30 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Chidinma
