Surgery fund for Ifeoma: valve repair surgery in Epe
After gallstones with repeated infections, Ifeoma was cleared for valve repair surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Ifeoma was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in August. The surgeon at Saint Matthew Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,000 short.
my sister has been in and out of Saint Matthew Hospital 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 $1,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Ifeoma 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 10 weeks. During that time Ifeoma 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 $1,000 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $430
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $490
• Post-operative medication: $80
I hope life is good to you.

Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Epe.
Wishing you the best, Kayode. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings.
Wishing Ifeoma a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Greetings from Enugu
