Help me pay for gallbladder removal at Awka University Hospital

After severe cataracts in both eyes, Oluwaseun was cleared for gallbladder removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In June I was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes. My surgeon at Awka University Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $730, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $550 short. Doctors at Awka University Hospital told me severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without gallbladder removal. I work as a retail assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $730 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 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. 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 $550 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $430 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 Every share and every dollar helps. - Oluwaseun

  • You're not alone. Shared this with my family. After 13 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

    • Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Semarang.

      • Hang in there, Oluwaseun. Hope the doctors have good news. We're a small family in San Jose but we're thinking of you

        • Stay strong. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Geelong so I could bring a meal. All the best.

          • Get well soon. We're a small family in Boulogne-Billancourt but we're thinking of you.
