Laparoscopic endometriosis surgery for Babatunde: covering what insurance won't

Babatunde was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in April. The surgeon at Lagos Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,150, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $700 short. my brother has been in and out of Lagos Community Hospital since April. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,150 is more than we can find. While we wait, Babatunde struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 Babatunde won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $700 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $580 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 Glad we found this place.
