Surgery fund for Modupe: valve repair surgery in Epe
After a hip fracture that never healed properly, Modupe was cleared for valve repair surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Modupe was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in December. The surgeon at Epe General Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for February. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $940, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $750 short.
my wife has been in and out of Epe General Hospital since December. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $940 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Modupe struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Modupe won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $750 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $360
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $220
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70
• Post-operative medication: $25
• Physiotherapy sessions: $50
• Travel and lodging for the family: $25
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope things get better soon, Yinka. Get well soon. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Wishing you the best. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Detroit so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Epe.
Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Berlin so I could bring a meal
