Surgery fund for Bola: laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in Kaduna
A scheduled laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in July is out of reach without help covering $400 of the cost.

Bola was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in April. The surgeon at Saint Joseph Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $500, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $400 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Saint Joseph Hospital since April. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Bola struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Bola 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 $400 goes:
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $240
• Physiotherapy sessions: $70
• Travel and lodging for the family: $90
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

praying for you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Thane
You're not alone. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Bristol but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Hope the doctors have good news. Greetings from Bordeaux.
Hope things get better soon, Yewande. Shared this with my family. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best
