Help Kathleen pay for laparoscopic cyst removal at Makati General Hospital

After gallstones with repeated infections, Kathleen was cleared for laparoscopic cyst removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Makati
Kathleen was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in July. The surgeon at Makati General Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $790, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $550 short. my daughter has been in and out of Makati General Hospital since July. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $790 is more than we can find. While we wait, Kathleen struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 Kathleen won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $550 goes: • Post-operative medication: $55 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $290 • Physiotherapy sessions: $105 • Travel and lodging for the family: $100 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
