Divina was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in June. The surgeon at Quezon City University Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,900, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $950 short. my daughter has been in and out of Quezon City University Hospital since June. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,900 is more than we can find. While we wait, Divina struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 10 weeks. During that time Divina won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $950 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $380 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $290 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $115 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Physiotherapy sessions: $50 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 I hope life is good to you. - Gerald
