Isaac was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in March. The surgeon at Epe Orthopedic Institute recommended a craniotomy, and He is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $750 short. my father has been in and out of Epe Orthopedic Institute since March. 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 $1,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Isaac struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Isaac won't be able to climb stairs, 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: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $280 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $250 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $35 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $90 • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Uche
