Jenny's a partial thyroidectomy can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After a thyroid nodule that needs removal, Jenny was cleared for a partial thyroidectomy, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Jenny was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in April. The surgeon at Caloocan Community Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,850, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,400 short.
my mother has been in and out of Caloocan Community Hospital since April. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,850 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Jenny struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Jenny won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $1,400 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $550
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $105
• Post-operative medication: $60
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $600
• Physiotherapy sessions: $85
Every share and every dollar helps.
