Angelo's laparoscopic endometriosis surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Angelo needs laparoscopic endometriosis surgery at Saint Mary Hospital and the family is $550 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇵🇭 Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines2,152 views
Angelo was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in May. The surgeon at Saint Mary Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $730, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $550 short.
my father has been in and out of Saint Mary Hospital since May. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $730 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Angelo struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 10 weeks. During that time Angelo won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $550 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $110
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $350
• Post-operative medication: $45
• Physiotherapy sessions: $45
If you're reading this, thank you.
