Surgery fund for Bukola: palate reconstruction surgery in Gwagwalada

In January I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst. My surgeon at Gwagwalada General Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for April. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $670, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $400 short. Doctors at Gwagwalada General Hospital told me a large ovarian cyst will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. I work as a taxi driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $670 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a taxi driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $400 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 • Post-operative medication: $30 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $250 • Physiotherapy sessions: $80 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
