Romeo needs laparoscopic cyst removal at Pasig Community Hospital and the family is $600 short of the hospital's estimate.

Romeo was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in February. The surgeon at Pasig Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $750, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $600 short.
my son has been in and out of Pasig Community Hospital since February. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $750 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Romeo 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 7 weeks. During that time Romeo 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 $600 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $410
• Physiotherapy sessions: $75
• Post-operative medication: $30
• Travel and lodging for the family: $45
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40
Thanks for reading all this.

Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Pasig.
Sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
You're not alone. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
best of luck. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I hope April is when things finally get easier
