Septoplasty for Jomar: covering what insurance won't
A scheduled septoplasty in March is out of reach without help covering $200 of the cost.
🇵🇭 Cebu, Philippines1,267 views
Jomar was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in January. The surgeon at Mandaue University Hospital recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $400, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $200 short.
my father has been in and out of Mandaue University Hospital since January. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $400 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Jomar struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 6 weeks. During that time Jomar won't be able to walk without help, 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 $200 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $60
• Travel and lodging for the family: $65
• Physiotherapy sessions: $75
Thank you so much.

Wishing Jomar a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Thinking of Mandaue
Sending love, Gerald. I hope things turn around soon. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
hang in there. Wishing Jomar a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Jomar?
Thank you. If you're in Mandaue I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Sapporo.
Rooting for you, Gerald. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
