Surgery fund for Omolara: laparoscopic cyst removal in Lagos
Omolara needs laparoscopic cyst removal at Lagos Orthopedic Institute and the family is $1,050 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria1,366 views
Omolara was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in August. The surgeon at Lagos Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,750, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,050 short.
my wife has been in and out of Lagos Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,750 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Omolara struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Omolara won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $500
• Travel and lodging for the family: $50
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $300
• Post-operative medication: $55
• Physiotherapy sessions: $145

Good luck, Musa. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
Best of luck, Musa. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Keep going, Musa. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. God bless.
sending love. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
