After a deviated septum causing chronic infections, Liza was cleared for cataract surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Liza was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in April. The surgeon at Mandaue Community Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,500, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $750 short. my daughter has been in and out of Mandaue Community Hospital since April. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Liza struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 4 weeks. During that time Liza won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $750 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $500 • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Physiotherapy sessions: $100 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 Thank you for reading my story.
