Surgery fund for Lourdes: ACL reconstruction in Quezon City

Lourdes was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in June. The surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,950, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,350 short. my daughter has been in and out of Saint Catherine Hospital since June. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,950 is more than we can find. While we wait, Lourdes struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Lourdes won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,350 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $570 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 • Physiotherapy sessions: $130 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $580 With deep gratitude, Remedios
