Mercy's laparoscopic cyst removal can't wait - please help us cover the bill

In May I was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair. My surgeon at Pasig General Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for August. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,200, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $850 short. Doctors at Pasig General Hospital told me a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a care assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,200 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a care assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $850 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $330 • Physiotherapy sessions: $70 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $355 Glad we found this place. - Mercy
