Mark's spinal decompression surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Mark was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in January. The surgeon at Bacolod Community Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $690, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $550 short. my son has been in and out of Bacolod Community Hospital since January. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $690 is more than we can find. While we wait, Mark struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 7 weeks. During that time Mark won't be able to walk without help, 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 $550 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $340 • Physiotherapy sessions: $75 • Travel and lodging for the family: $60 • Post-operative medication: $75 I hope life is good to you.
