Hazel was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in May. The surgeon at Mandaue Community Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,100, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $650 short. my wife has been in and out of Mandaue Community Hospital since May. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,100 is more than we can find. While we wait, Hazel struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Hazel won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $650 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $440 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $115 • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 Every share and every dollar helps.

    Any update on how things are going in Mandaue?

    • You're not alone. This could happen to any of us. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

      • Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Bloemfontein but we're thinking of you.

        • Wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Saint Paul so I could bring a meal
