Help Michael pay for palate reconstruction surgery at Lagos Community Hospital
After a benign brain tumor, Michael was cleared for palate reconstruction surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Michael was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in May. The surgeon at Lagos Community Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $920, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $550 short.
my father has been in and out of Lagos Community Hospital since May. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $920 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Michael struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Michael won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing.
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:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $20
• Post-operative medication: $50
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $310
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80
• Physiotherapy sessions: $90
I hope life is good to you.
