A scheduled a craniotomy in April is out of reach without help covering $600 of the cost.

In February I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Nnewi Community Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for April. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,200, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $600 short. Doctors at Nnewi Community Hospital told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without a craniotomy. I work as a retail assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,200 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a retail assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 4 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $600 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $475 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Tayo

Updates from Tayo

  1. Quick update: $255 raised so far (43%). I made the first payment toward hospital stay. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Quick update: $105 raised so far (18%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($80 in total) I made the first payment toward travel and lodging for the family. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. Take care.

      Sending good thoughts. Hope the doctors have good news. Wish I lived closer to Faisalabad so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Dhaka.
