Epe

Bello was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in June. The surgeon at Epe Orthopedic Institute recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,750, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,050 short. my son has been in and out of Epe Orthopedic Institute since June. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Bello struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 10 weeks. During that time Bello won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $1,050 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $390 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $450 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 • Post-operative medication: $20 • Physiotherapy sessions: $105 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 Thank you so much.
