Hip replacement surgery for Hauwa: covering what insurance won't

Hauwa was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in June. The surgeon at Ibadan University Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,100, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,050 short. my mother has been in and out of Ibadan University Hospital since June. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,100 is more than we can find. While we wait, Hauwa struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 8 weeks. During that time Hauwa won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $1,050 goes: • Hospital stay (5 nights): $440 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $370 • Post-operative medication: $65 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $60 • Physiotherapy sessions: $115 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
