Lucky's septoplasty can't wait - please help us cover the bill

After severe cataracts in both eyes, Lucky was cleared for septoplasty, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Lagos
Lucky was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in October. The surgeon at Lagos General Hospital recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,150, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $800 short. my husband has been in and out of Lagos General Hospital since October. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,150 is more than we can find. While we wait, Lucky 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. Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Lucky 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 $800 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $330 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $230 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $100 • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Abosede

      Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
