Okechukwu's spinal decompression surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Okechukwu was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in August. The surgeon at Saint Francis Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,000 short. my son has been in and out of Saint Francis Hospital since August. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Okechukwu 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Okechukwu 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 $1,000 goes: • Hospital stay (3 nights): $300 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $560 • Physiotherapy sessions: $60 With deep gratitude, Folake
