Surgery fund for Bola: spinal decompression surgery in Port Harcourt
Bola needs spinal decompression surgery at Port Harcourt Regional Medical Center and the family is $100 short of the hospital's estimate.

Bola was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in February. The surgeon at Port Harcourt Regional Medical Center recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $200, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $100 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Port Harcourt Regional Medical Center since February. The doctors say an aortic valve defect 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, Bola struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Bola won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $100 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $30
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40
• Post-operative medication: $30
Glad we found this place.

So sorry you're going through this, Dayo. I hope things turn around soon. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Port Harcourt.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Lalitpur
Sending love, Dayo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
