Surgery fund for Kelechi: spinal decompression surgery in Epe

After severe cataracts in both eyes, Kelechi was cleared for spinal decompression surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Epe
In July I was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes. My surgeon at Epe Regional Medical Center recommended spinal decompression surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $380, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $300 short. Doctors at Epe Regional Medical Center told me severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. I work as a security guard, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $380 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a security guard have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 4 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. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $300 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $180 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
