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

In August I was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes. My surgeon at Nsukka University Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $145, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $100 short. Doctors at Nsukka University Hospital told me severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $145 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a delivery rider have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 8 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $100 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $45 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $30 Glad we found this place. - Ronke
