Lester was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in April. The surgeon at Quezon City Orthopedic Institute recommended a craniotomy, and He is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,350, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,000 short. my son has been in and out of Quezon City Orthopedic Institute since April. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,350 is more than we can find. While we wait, Lester struggles with daily life and can't drive. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Lester 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 $1,000 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $640 • Post-operative medication: $85 • Physiotherapy sessions: $55 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $185 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 Every share and every dollar helps.
