Surgery fund for Miguel: laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in Manila

Miguel was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in June. The surgeon at Manila General Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,400, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $700 short. my father has been in and out of Manila General Hospital since June. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Miguel struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 5 weeks. During that time Miguel 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 $700 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 • Physiotherapy sessions: $55 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $520 • Post-operative medication: $95 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
