Erica was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in August. The surgeon at Quezon City General Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,600, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $950 short. my daughter has been in and out of Quezon City General Hospital since August. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,600 is more than we can find. While we wait, Erica struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 Erica won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $950 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $90 • Post-operative medication: $65 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $670 • Travel and lodging for the family: $75 I hope life is good to you.
