Help me pay for knee replacement surgery at Gwagwalada University Hospital
Funmilayo needs knee replacement surgery at Gwagwalada University Hospital and the family is $1,000 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇳🇬 902627, Gwagwalada, Abuja FCT, Nigeria905 views
In November I was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections. My surgeon at Gwagwalada University Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for February. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,250, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $1,000 short.
Doctors at Gwagwalada University Hospital told me gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without knee replacement surgery. I work as a warehouse packer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,250 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a warehouse packer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. I'll not be able to stand for more than ten minutes 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 $1,000 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45
• Travel and lodging for the family: $35
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $460
• Physiotherapy sessions: $80
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $380
Glad we found this place.
