Carlo's a craniotomy can't wait - please help us cover the bill
A scheduled a craniotomy in May is out of reach without help covering $850 of the cost.
🇵🇭 Iloilo, Philippines1,094 views
In March I was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections. My surgeon at Iloilo City Community Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for May. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,200, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $850 short.
Doctors at Iloilo City Community Hospital told me a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without a craniotomy. I work as a care assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,200 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a care assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $850 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $630
• Post-operative medication: $45
• Travel and lodging for the family: $80
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95
Thanks for reading all this.

Rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from San Jose.
sending good thoughts, Carlo. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Wishing you the best, Carlo. Your post was clear and honest.
