Paolo's a partial thyroidectomy can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Paolo was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in October. The surgeon at Quezon City Regional Medical Center recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and He is scheduled for February. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $940, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $750 short. my son has been in and out of Quezon City Regional Medical Center since October. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $940 is more than we can find. While we wait, Paolo struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Paolo won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $750 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $600 • Physiotherapy sessions: $50 • Travel and lodging for the family: $100 Thanks for reading all this.
