Uchenna's hip replacement surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Uchenna was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in July. The surgeon at Abuja Community Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $830, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $500 short. my father has been in and out of Abuja Community Hospital since July. 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 $830 is more than we can find. While we wait, Uchenna struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 6 weeks. During that time Uchenna won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $500 goes: • Post-operative medication: $45 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $400 I hope life is good to you. - Daniel
