Help Paolo pay for palate reconstruction surgery at Makati Community Hospital

Paolo was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in July. The surgeon at Makati Community Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,400, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $850 short. my father has been in and out of Makati Community Hospital since July. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Paolo 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 10 weeks. During that time Paolo won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $850 goes: • Post-operative medication: $60 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $310 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $430 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 With deep gratitude, Bea
