Yakubu's knee replacement surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Yakubu was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in July. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,100, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $650 short. my son has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since July. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,100 is more than we can find. While we wait, Yakubu 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. Recovery is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Yakubu 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 $650 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $100 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $400 • Travel and lodging for the family: $80 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Babatunde
