Surgery fund for Jumoke: valve repair surgery in Kano

Jumoke was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in June. The surgeon at Kano University Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,000, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,000 short. my daughter has been in and out of Kano University Hospital since June. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Jumoke struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 8 weeks. During that time Jumoke won't be able to walk without help, 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: $530 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $300 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40 • Post-operative medication: $65 Thanks for being kind about this.
