Noel's laparoscopic endometriosis surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
A scheduled laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in October is out of reach without help covering $650 of the cost.

Noel was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in July. The surgeon at Pasig General Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $870, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $650 short.
my father has been in and out of Pasig General Hospital since July. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $870 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Noel struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Noel won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $650 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $65
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $400
• Post-operative medication: $45
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $140

sending love. Wishing Noel a smooth procedure and a full recovery
Take care, Maricel. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Pasig
thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted.
Thinking of you, Maricel. Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Faisalabad.
So sorry you're going through this, Maricel. Hope this works out for you. Take care.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Noel
It's all in the list in the story. travel and lodging for the family is the big one at $65, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Fair thing to want to know.
Hope things get better soon, Maricel. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
Hang in there, Maricel. Hope the doctors have good news. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Pasig!
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Jimma.
thanks for sharing this, Maricel. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Newcastle upon Tyne but we're thinking of you. Blessings!
Hope things get better soon. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Please keep us posted. God bless!
