Lagos
Victor was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in May. The surgeon at Lagos General Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $360, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $250 short. my father has been in and out of Lagos General Hospital since May. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $360 is more than we can find. While we wait, Victor struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 7 weeks. During that time Victor won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $250 goes: β€’ Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45 β€’ Physiotherapy sessions: $85 β€’ Post-operative medication: $60 β€’ Travel and lodging for the family: $60 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
