Surgery fund for Arnel: septoplasty in Makati

Arnel was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in July. The surgeon at Makati University Hospital recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $290, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $200 short. my father has been in and out of Makati University Hospital since July. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $290 is more than we can find. While we wait, Arnel 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 10 weeks. During that time Arnel won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $200 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100 • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 • Post-operative medication: $70 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
