Ogbomosho

Okechukwu was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in August. The surgeon at Ogbomosho Regional Medical Center recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $790, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $550 short. my father has been in and out of Ogbomosho Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $790 is more than we can find. While we wait, Okechukwu struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Okechukwu 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 $550 goes: • Post-operative medication: $40 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $405 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Ikenna
