Palate reconstruction surgery for Lanre: covering what insurance won't

Lanre was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in July. The surgeon at Kano Orthopedic Institute recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $250, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $200 short. my son has been in and out of Kano Orthopedic Institute since July. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Lanre struggles with daily life and can't drive. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Lanre won't be able to drive, 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 $200 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $60 • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 • Physiotherapy sessions: $110 With deep gratitude, Uchenna
