Help Wunmi pay for a craniotomy at Onitsha Regional Medical Center
A scheduled a craniotomy in September is out of reach without help covering $600 of the cost.
🇳🇬 Onitsha, Anambra, Nigeria863 views
Wunmi was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in May. The surgeon at Onitsha Regional Medical Center recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,200, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $600 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Onitsha Regional Medical Center since May. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,200 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Wunmi 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.
Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Wunmi 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:
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $460
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100
• Post-operative medication: $40
Thank you for reading my story.

Any update on how things are going in Onitsha?
Praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Hang in there, Kayode. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Onitsha.
Thanks for sharing this. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Wunmi.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. hospital stay (3 nights) is the biggest at $460. Thanks for looking so closely.
Thanks for sharing this, Kayode. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Onitsha!
Best of luck, Kayode. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Onitsha!
Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Jakarta.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Bahir Dar
