Help Miguel pay for knee replacement surgery at Lapu-Lapu Regional Medical Center

Miguel was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in June. The surgeon at Lapu-Lapu Regional Medical Center recommended knee replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,700, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,350 short. my son has been in and out of Lapu-Lapu Regional Medical Center since June. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,700 is more than we can find. While we wait, Miguel struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Miguel won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. 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 $1,350 goes: • Post-operative medication: $60 • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $370 • Physiotherapy sessions: $145 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $745 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Francis
