Surgery fund for Jayson: valve repair surgery in Manila

Jayson was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in May. The surgeon at Saint Joseph Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,700, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $850 short. my father has been in and out of Saint Joseph Hospital since May. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,700 is more than we can find. While we wait, Jayson struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 3 weeks. During that time Jayson won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $850 goes: • Hospital stay (2 nights): $470 • Physiotherapy sessions: $160 • Travel and lodging for the family: $60 • Post-operative medication: $85 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 Thanks for reading all this.
