Help Pedro pay for valve repair surgery at Quezon City Community Hospital

Pedro was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in May. The surgeon at Quezon City Community Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $830, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $500 short. my father has been in and out of Quezon City Community Hospital since May. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $830 is more than we can find. While we wait, Pedro 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 8 weeks. During that time Pedro 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 $500 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $310 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $115 • Physiotherapy sessions: $75 Thanks for being kind about this. - Elena
