Henry's spinal decompression surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

In July I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst. My surgeon at Lagos Orthopedic Institute recommended spinal decompression surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,650, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $1,000 short. Doctors at Lagos Orthopedic Institute told me a large ovarian cyst will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,650 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a delivery rider have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 8 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $1,000 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $340 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $400 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85 • Post-operative medication: $60 • Physiotherapy sessions: $90 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 With deep gratitude, Henry
