Lola's laparoscopic cyst removal can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After a deviated septum causing chronic infections, Lola was cleared for laparoscopic cyst removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Lola was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in July. The surgeon at Lagos Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,850, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,300 short.
my wife has been in and out of Lagos Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,850 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Lola 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.
Recovery is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Lola won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $580
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $460
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65
• Post-operative medication: $45
• Physiotherapy sessions: $65
• Travel and lodging for the family: $85
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending good thoughts, Bello. Hope the doctors have good news. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
Thinking of you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Get well soon. Thinking of Lagos
