Help me pay for palate reconstruction surgery at Taguig Community Hospital
A scheduled palate reconstruction surgery in July is out of reach without help covering $1,000 of the cost.

In May I was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair. My surgeon at Taguig Community Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for July. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,450, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $1,000 short.
Doctors at Taguig Community Hospital told me a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. I work as a taxi driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,450 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.
Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift 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 $1,000 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $480
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $210
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65
• Post-operative medication: $55
• Physiotherapy sessions: $125
• Travel and lodging for the family: $65
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
