Zenaida was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in July. The surgeon at Pasig Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,650, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,300 short. my mother has been in and out of Pasig Orthopedic Institute since July. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,650 is more than we can find. While we wait, Zenaida 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Zenaida 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 $1,300 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $115 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $590 • Travel and lodging for the family: $60 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $485 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

            Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
