Segun was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in August. The surgeon at Ibadan Regional Medical Center recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,300, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $650 short. my husband has been in and out of Ibadan Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,300 is more than we can find. While we wait, Segun struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Segun 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 $650 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $90 • Post-operative medication: $25 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $260 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $275 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Fatima

    So sorry you're going through this, Fatima. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Lowell so I could bring a meal. God bless.
