Jose was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in May. The surgeon at Manila University Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $750 short. my son has been in and out of Manila University Hospital since May. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Jose struggles with daily life and can't drive. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Jose won't be able to drive, 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: • Physiotherapy sessions: $70 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $610 • Post-operative medication: $70 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Corazon

  • Sending love, Corazon. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

      Thinking of you, Corazon. Get well soon. All the best.

      • Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
