Help Nicole pay for emergency hernia repair at Manila Orthopedic Institute

Nicole was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in June. The surgeon at Manila Orthopedic Institute recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,650, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,150 short. my mother has been in and out of Manila Orthopedic Institute since June. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,650 is more than we can find. While we wait, Nicole struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Nicole 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 $1,150 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $510 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $360 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $105 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Physiotherapy sessions: $65 • Travel and lodging for the family: $60 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Samuel
