Dasmariñas
Cecilia was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in November. The surgeon at Dasmariñas General Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $670, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $500 short. my daughter has been in and out of Dasmariñas General Hospital since November. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $670 is more than we can find. While we wait, Cecilia struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Cecilia 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 $500 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $330 • Post-operative medication: $65 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $105 Thanks for being kind about this. - Camille
