Spinal decompression surgery for Samuel: covering what insurance won't

Samuel was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in January. The surgeon at Lagos General Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $200, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $150 short. my brother has been in and out of Lagos General Hospital since January. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Samuel struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Samuel won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $150 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 • Post-operative medication: $35 Thanks for being kind about this.
