Obiageli's cataract surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Obiageli was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in April. The surgeon at Gwagwalada University Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,050, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $750 short. my mother has been in and out of Gwagwalada University Hospital since April. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,050 is more than we can find. While we wait, Obiageli struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Obiageli won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $750 goes: • Post-operative medication: $50 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $655 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Okechukwu
