Surgery fund for Obiageli: spinal decompression surgery in Epe

A scheduled spinal decompression surgery in August is out of reach without help covering $850 of the cost.

Epe
Obiageli was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in April. The surgeon at Epe Community Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,150, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $850 short. my wife has been in and out of Epe Community Hospital since April. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,150 is more than we can find. While we wait, Obiageli struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 4 weeks. During that time Obiageli won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $850 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $520 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Physiotherapy sessions: $50 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $185 Thank you so much.
