Surgery fund for Princess: laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in Caloocan
Princess needs laparoscopic endometriosis surgery at Caloocan Orthopedic Institute and the family is $250 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇵🇭 Caloocan, Metro Manila, Philippines1,476 views
Princess was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in December. The surgeon at Caloocan Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $360, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $250 short.
my mother has been in and out of Caloocan Orthopedic Institute since December. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $360 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Princess 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.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Princess won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $250 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $55
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85
• Travel and lodging for the family: $110
Every share and every dollar helps.
