Yewande was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in July. The surgeon at Gwagwalada University Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $570, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $400 short.
my sister has been in and out of Gwagwalada University Hospital since July. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $570 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Yewande struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Yewande won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $400 goes:
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $240
• Travel and lodging for the family: $75
• Physiotherapy sessions: $85
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending strength. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
