Tunde was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in May. The surgeon at Nsukka Regional Medical Center recommended a craniotomy, and He is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,200, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $600 short. my husband has been in and out of Nsukka Regional Medical Center since May. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Tunde struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 3 weeks. During that time Tunde won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $600 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $45 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $490 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    • Hope it all works out, Modupe. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
