Nonso was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in July. The surgeon at Ikeja Regional Medical Center recommended gallbladder removal, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,900, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $950 short. my son has been in and out of Ikeja Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,900 is more than we can find. While we wait, Nonso struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Nonso won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $950 goes: • Post-operative medication: $45 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $360 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $380 • Physiotherapy sessions: $90 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 With deep gratitude, Chidi
