Surgery fund for Kehinde: ACL reconstruction in Awka

In June I was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal. My surgeon at Awka University Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $940, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $750 short. Doctors at Awka University Hospital told me a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without ACL reconstruction. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $940 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a delivery rider have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $750 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $370 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $200 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $75 • Travel and lodging for the family: $10 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Kehinde
