Wilfredo's ACL reconstruction can't wait - please help us cover the bill

After a thyroid nodule that needs removal, Wilfredo was cleared for ACL reconstruction, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In May I was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal. My surgeon at Taguig Orthopedic Institute recommended ACL reconstruction, and I have been placed on the schedule for August. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,250, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $750 short. Doctors at Taguig Orthopedic Institute told me a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without ACL reconstruction. I work as a taxi driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,250 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a taxi driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $520 • Physiotherapy sessions: $130 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Wilfredo
