Wunmi was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in July. The surgeon at Kano University Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,050, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $750 short. my mother has been in and out of Kano University Hospital since July. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,050 is more than we can find. While we wait, Wunmi struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 3 weeks. During that time Wunmi won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did. Where the $750 goes: • Post-operative medication: $35 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $430 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $195 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Samuel
