Help me pay for septoplasty at Caloocan Regional Medical Center
A scheduled septoplasty in September is out of reach without help covering $1,050 of the cost.

In July I was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections. My surgeon at Caloocan Regional Medical Center recommended septoplasty, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,500, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $1,050 short.
Doctors at Caloocan Regional Medical Center told me gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without septoplasty. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,500 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a delivery rider have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $50
• Physiotherapy sessions: $75
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $420
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $410
• Post-operative medication: $95
I hope life is good to you.

Hope things get better soon, Samuel. Wishing Samuel a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
thinking of you and your family, Samuel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out
Best of luck, Samuel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Rohini!
