Ronke was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in August. The surgeon at Badagry University Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,100, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,050 short. my mother has been in and out of Badagry University Hospital since August. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,100 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ronke struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Ronke won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,050 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $540 • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $270 • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 Every share and every dollar helps. - Yetunde
