Help me pay for laparoscopic cyst removal at Lagos Orthopedic Institute

In April I was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. My surgeon at Lagos Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for July. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $730, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $550 short. Doctors at Lagos Orthopedic Institute told me a benign brain tumor will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a taxi driver, 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 taxi driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 7 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help 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 $550 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $45 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $420 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45 I hope life is good to you.
