Help Lourdes pay for laparoscopic cyst removal at Quezon City Orthopedic Institute
After a large ovarian cyst, Lourdes was cleared for laparoscopic cyst removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Lourdes was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in September. The surgeon at Quezon City Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,050, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $750 short.
my mother has been in and out of Quezon City Orthopedic Institute since September. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without laparoscopic cyst 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, Lourdes struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 3 weeks. During that time Lourdes won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $750 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $350
• Travel and lodging for the family: $25
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $375
Glad we found this place.

Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
Stay strong, Ismael. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted. God bless.
Wishing Lourdes a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
keep going. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. God bless
Hope things get better soon, Ismael. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Tokyo so I could bring a meal. Blessings
