Surgery fund for Gilbert: laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in Mandaue

Gilbert was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in August. The surgeon at Mandaue Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,850, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,100 short. my brother has been in and out of Mandaue Community Hospital since August. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,850 is more than we can find. While we wait, Gilbert struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Gilbert won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $1,100 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $430 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Travel and lodging for the family: $60 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $390 • Physiotherapy sessions: $150 If you're reading this, thank you. - Princess
