Help Temitope pay for knee replacement surgery at Port Harcourt Regional Medical Center

Temitope was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in December. The surgeon at Port Harcourt Regional Medical Center recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,200, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $600 short. my wife has been in and out of Port Harcourt Regional Medical Center since December. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Temitope 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Temitope 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 $600 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $380 • Physiotherapy sessions: $130 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Danjuma
