Rey's a craniotomy can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Rey was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in June. The surgeon at Mandaue University Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,150, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $850 short. my father has been in and out of Mandaue University Hospital since June. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,150 is more than we can find. While we wait, Rey struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 3 weeks. During that time Rey won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $850 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $370 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $210 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Physiotherapy sessions: $90 • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Victor
