Nnamdi's valve repair surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Nnamdi needs valve repair surgery at Lagos University Hospital and the family is $800 short of the hospital's estimate.

Lagos
In July I was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction. My surgeon at Lagos University Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,000, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $800 short. Doctors at Lagos University Hospital told me a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without valve repair surgery. I work as a retail assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,000 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a retail assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 4 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $800 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $115 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $600 • Post-operative medication: $30 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    take care, Nnamdi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Guarulhos so I could bring a meal. God bless.
