Quezon City
Romeo was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in September. The surgeon at Quezon City Community Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $310, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $250 short. my brother has been in and out of Quezon City Community Hospital since September. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $310 is more than we can find. While we wait, Romeo 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 8 weeks. During that time Romeo won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $250 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Post-operative medication: $65 • Physiotherapy sessions: $115 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Rolando
