Manila

Herman was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in August. The surgeon at Manila General Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $800 short. my husband has been in and out of Manila General Hospital since August. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Herman 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Herman 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 $800 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $450 • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $270 • Post-operative medication: $35 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
