Surgery fund for Fernando: septoplasty in Cebu City

Fernando was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in August. The surgeon at Cebu City University Hospital recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $860, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $600 short. my brother has been in and out of Cebu City University Hospital since August. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $860 is more than we can find. While we wait, Fernando 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Fernando 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 $600 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $400 • Post-operative medication: $65 • Physiotherapy sessions: $55 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Paolo
