Help me pay for cataract surgery at Warri General Hospital

After a hip fracture that never healed properly, Garba was cleared for cataract surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In December I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Warri General Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for February. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $500, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $300 short. Doctors at Warri General Hospital told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without cataract surgery. I work as a farm laborer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $500 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a farm laborer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs 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 $300 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $200 • Post-operative medication: $5 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
