Help me pay for ACL reconstruction at Warri Orthopedic Institute
A scheduled ACL reconstruction in November is out of reach without help covering $1,050 of the cost.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,696 views
In August I was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc. My surgeon at Warri Orthopedic Institute recommended ACL reconstruction, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,300, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $1,050 short.
Doctors at Warri Orthopedic Institute told me a herniated spinal disc will get worse without ACL reconstruction. I work as a market vendor, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,300 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a market vendor have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $55
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $410
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $480
• Physiotherapy sessions: $105
With deep gratitude,
Ibrahim

So sorry you're going through this, Ibrahim. Wishing Ibrahim a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't give up. All the best
Thinking of you, Ibrahim. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Wishing Ibrahim a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Greetings from Gujranwala.
Take care, Ibrahim. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Warri!
Hang in there, Ibrahim. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless!
Sending love, Ibrahim. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
