Rodel's cataract surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Rodel was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in February. The surgeon at Taguig Community Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,200, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,600 short. my son has been in and out of Taguig Community Hospital since February. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Rodel struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 5 weeks. During that time Rodel won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,600 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $750 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $550 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $70 • Travel and lodging for the family: $100 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Gemma
