Emmanuel was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in June. The surgeon at Bacoor General Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $750 short. my son has been in and out of Bacoor General Hospital since June. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Emmanuel struggles with daily life and can't drive. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Emmanuel won't be able to drive, 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 $750 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $270 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $440 • Post-operative medication: $40 Glad we found this place. - Orlando
