Help me pay for a craniotomy at Quezon City Community Hospital

After gallstones with repeated infections, Elena was cleared for a craniotomy, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In July I was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections. My surgeon at Quezon City Community Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,550, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $1,150 short. Doctors at Quezon City Community Hospital told me gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without a craniotomy. I work as a school bus driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,550 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a school bus driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to stand for more than ten minutes during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $1,150 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $110 • Travel and lodging for the family: $85 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $520 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $410 • Post-operative medication: $25 Thank you so much. - Elena
