Quezon City
Perla was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in July. The surgeon at Quezon City General Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,100, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $550 short. my daughter has been in and out of Quezon City General Hospital since July. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,100 is more than we can find. While we wait, Perla struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Perla won't be able to work a full shift, 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: • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $440 • Post-operative medication: $80 With deep gratitude, Paolo
