Jocelyn's ACL reconstruction can't wait - please help us cover the bill
A scheduled ACL reconstruction in September is out of reach without help covering $750 of the cost.
🇵🇭 Metro Manila, Philippines629 views
Jocelyn was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in June. The surgeon at Quezon City General Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,500, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $750 short.
my mother has been in and out of Quezon City General Hospital since June. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Jocelyn 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 6 weeks. During that time Jocelyn 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 $750 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $55
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $630
• Post-operative medication: $65
Glad we found this place.

Sending good thoughts. Hope the doctors have good news. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Stay strong, Rhea. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Quezon City
Hope you get there. Sent it to 38 people at work
hang in there, Rhea. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Quezon City.
So sorry you're going through this, Rhea. Hope this works out for you. Blessings
Hope things get better soon, Rhea. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
Stay strong, Rhea. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Quezon City
