Omolara was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in February. The surgeon at Saint Francis Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,800, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $900 short. my mother has been in and out of Saint Francis Hospital since February. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,800 is more than we can find. While we wait, Omolara 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Omolara won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $900 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $280 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $350 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Physiotherapy sessions: $65 • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Halima

  • Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. Take care.

    • Hope you get there. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
