Surgery fund for Yinka: a partial thyroidectomy in Bonny

Yinka was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in August. The surgeon at Saint Francis Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $600 short. my son has been in and out of Saint Francis Hospital since August. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Yinka 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 5 weeks. During that time Yinka 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 $600 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45 • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $410 • Post-operative medication: $60 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
