Zainab was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in August. The surgeon at Wudil Regional Medical Center recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,900, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $950 short. my daughter has been in and out of Wudil Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,900 is more than we can find. While we wait, Zainab struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Zainab 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 $950 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $320 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $490 • Post-operative medication: $30 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Nnamdi

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($266 in total) I made the first payment toward surgeon and anesthesia fees. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
