Help Uche pay for knee replacement surgery at Saint Francis Hospital
Uche needs knee replacement surgery at Saint Francis Hospital and the family is $1,000 short of the hospital's estimate.

Uche was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in August. The surgeon at Saint Francis Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,650, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,000 short.
my sister has been in and out of Saint Francis Hospital since August. The doctors say a benign brain tumor 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, Uche struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 4 weeks. During that time Uche won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $390
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $470
• Travel and lodging for the family: $45
• Post-operative medication: $50
• Physiotherapy sessions: $45
With deep gratitude,
