Courtney was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in February. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $10,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $7,600 short. my mother has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since February. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $10,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Courtney 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 8 weeks. During that time Courtney 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 $7,600 goes: • Hospital stay (2 nights): $3,400 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,750 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $450 I hope life is good to you. - Douglas

  • reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Dasmariñas.

    • You're not alone, Douglas. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Los Angeles
