Help Kristine pay for gallbladder removal at Pasig Regional Medical Center

Kristine was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in August. The surgeon at Pasig Regional Medical Center recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,050, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $800 short. my daughter has been in and out of Pasig Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,050 is more than we can find. While we wait, Kristine struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Kristine won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $800 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $610 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $140 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
