Surgery fund for Tayo: laparoscopic cyst removal in Onitsha

Tayo was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in May. The surgeon at Onitsha University Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $250, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $150 short. my father has been in and out of Onitsha University Hospital since May. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Tayo struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Tayo won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $150 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 • Post-operative medication: $40 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
