Help Aileen pay for palate reconstruction surgery at Taguig General Hospital
After a benign brain tumor, Aileen was cleared for palate reconstruction surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.
🇵🇭 Philippines924 views
Aileen was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in June. The surgeon at Taguig General Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,000 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Taguig General Hospital since June. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Aileen struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Aileen won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $140
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $330
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $110
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $370
• Post-operative medication: $50
Thank you so much.

Thanks for sharing this. Wishing Aileen a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Love from Brasília.
Take care, Faith. Your post was clear and honest. Take care.
Praying for you, Faith. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Newcastle upon Tyne donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Taguig.
Wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Iași but we're thinking of you. Take care
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Dwarka.
