Titilayo was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in February. The surgeon at Saint Francis Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $330, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $200 short. my daughter has been in and out of Saint Francis Hospital since February. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $330 is more than we can find. While we wait, Titilayo struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Titilayo won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $200 goes: • Post-operative medication: $25 • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 Thanks for reading all this. - Ngozika
