Badagry
Sani was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in May. The surgeon at Badagry General Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $950 short. my husband has been in and out of Badagry General Hospital since May. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Sani struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Sani won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $950 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $460 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45 • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 • Physiotherapy sessions: $100 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $315 I hope life is good to you.
