Help me pay for cataract surgery at Zaria General Hospital

In June I was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction. My surgeon at Zaria General Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for August. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,500, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $900 short. Doctors at Zaria General Hospital told me a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without cataract surgery. I work as a security guard, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,500 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a security guard have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone 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 $900 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $420 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $240 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $60 • Post-operative medication: $25 • Physiotherapy sessions: $100 • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
