Septoplasty for Titilayo: covering what insurance won't
Titilayo needs septoplasty at Lagos General Hospital and the family is $500 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria1,467 views
Titilayo was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in August. The surgeon at Lagos General Hospital recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $830, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $500 short.
my wife has been in and out of Lagos General Hospital since August. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $830 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Titilayo 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 12 weeks. During that time Titilayo won't be able to walk without help, 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 $500 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $60
• Travel and lodging for the family: $55
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $290
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65
• Post-operative medication: $30
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

How is Titilayo doing now?
Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Lagos.
Hang in there, Samuel. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Titilayo?
Hope it all works out, Samuel. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Lagos
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Titilayo
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. physiotherapy sessions comes first ($60) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.
Sending strength, Samuel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up
Take care, Samuel. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up. God bless.
