Help me pay for laparoscopic cyst removal at Kaduna University Hospital
Ronke needs laparoscopic cyst removal at Kaduna University Hospital and the family is $950 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇳🇬 Kaduna, Nigeria1,268 views
In August I was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal. My surgeon at Kaduna University Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,600, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $950 short.
Doctors at Kaduna University Hospital told me a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a retail assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,600 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.
The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to drive 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 $950 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $450
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $220
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100
• Post-operative medication: $35
• Physiotherapy sessions: $85
• Travel and lodging for the family: $60
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Sending strength, Ronke. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care!
