Help Jerome pay for spinal decompression surgery at Makati Orthopedic Institute

Jerome was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in July. The surgeon at Makati Orthopedic Institute recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,400, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $850 short. my husband has been in and out of Makati Orthopedic Institute since July. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Jerome struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Jerome 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 $850 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $570 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Physiotherapy sessions: $150 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Angelo
