Laparoscopic cyst removal for Teodoro: covering what insurance won't
Teodoro needs laparoscopic cyst removal at Mandaue General Hospital and the family is $1,000 short of the hospital's estimate.

Teodoro was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in June. The surgeon at Mandaue General Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,450, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,000 short.
my father has been in and out of Mandaue General Hospital since June. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,450 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Teodoro struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 Teodoro won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $1,000 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $110
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $540
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $200
• Travel and lodging for the family: $55
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Teodoro
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. physiotherapy sessions comes first ($110) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid.
Hang in there, Arnel. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
Rooting for you. Get well soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
rooting for you, Arnel. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together
