Surgery fund for Damilola: valve repair surgery in Kaduna

Damilola was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in August. The surgeon at Kaduna Regional Medical Center recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,050, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $750 short. my sister has been in and out of Kaduna Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,050 is more than we can find. While we wait, Damilola 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. Recovery is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Damilola won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $750 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $310 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $210 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 • Post-operative medication: $25 • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 Glad we found this place.
