Help me pay for ACL reconstruction at Pasig General Hospital
Wilfredo needs ACL reconstruction at Pasig General Hospital and the family is $600 short of the hospital's estimate.

In August I was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction. My surgeon at Pasig General Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $800, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $600 short.
Doctors at Pasig General Hospital told me a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without ACL reconstruction. I work as a taxi driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $800 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a taxi driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 4 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone 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 $600 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $50
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $460
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Salerno this morning.
Hope things get better soon, Wilfredo. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. It's not much but it's yours. Take care
Keep going. Wishing Wilfredo a smooth procedure and a full recovery. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Thinking of you and your family, Wilfredo. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Thane so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 21 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Best of luck, Wilfredo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless!
