Camille's cataract surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Camille was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in July. The surgeon at Pasig General Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,200, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $850 short. my daughter has been in and out of Pasig General Hospital since July. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Camille struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Camille won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $850 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $80 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $110 • Post-operative medication: $30 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $490 • Physiotherapy sessions: $140 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Noel
