Surgery fund for Samuel: spinal decompression surgery in Makati

Samuel was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in July. The surgeon at Saint Mary Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,050, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $750 short. my son has been in and out of Saint Mary Hospital since July. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,050 is more than we can find. While we wait, Samuel 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Samuel won't be able to walk without help, 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 $750 goes: • Post-operative medication: $55 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $115 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $580 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Hazel
