Mercy's ACL reconstruction can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Mercy was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in March. The surgeon at Abuja University Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,300, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,050 short. my sister has been in and out of Abuja University Hospital since March. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,300 is more than we can find. While we wait, Mercy 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 3 weeks. During that time Mercy won't be able to walk without help, 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 $1,050 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $290 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $560 • Physiotherapy sessions: $75 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Emeka
