Help Obiageli pay for knee replacement surgery at Zaria University Hospital
After endometriosis requiring surgery, Obiageli was cleared for knee replacement surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Obiageli was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in March. The surgeon at Zaria University Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,650, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,150 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Zaria University Hospital since March. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,650 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Obiageli struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Obiageli won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $370
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $530
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65
• Post-operative medication: $35
• Physiotherapy sessions: $100
• Travel and lodging for the family: $50
Thanks for being kind about this.

Praying for you. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Boulogne-Billancourt but we're thinking of you.
Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Duisburg so I could bring a meal. Love from Dammam!
