Lilian was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in April. The surgeon at Abuja Regional Medical Center recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,350, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,000 short. my daughter has been in and out of Abuja Regional Medical Center since April. 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 $1,350 is more than we can find. While we wait, Lilian struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Lilian won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,000 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $310 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $610 • Physiotherapy sessions: $80 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Yetunde
