In September I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Makati University Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $2,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $1,000 short. Doctors at Makati University Hospital told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. I work as a security guard, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $2,000 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a security guard have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 12 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 $1,000 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $440 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $240 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 • Post-operative medication: $65 • Physiotherapy sessions: $110 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
