I don’t know what to do

As my previous post, my Mom has several issue with her body, A doctor ordered her to get a whole abdomen CT Scan, Today she went to a clinic to ask how much the CT Scan was, and It was ₱15,000 Philippine Peso, she was surprised to hear how expensive it is so she tried to other clinic which is near where she originally went to, and It was the same price, This is really draining me. We have no money for her to get the procedure, we can actually ask the government offices for financial assistance but You have to be admitted to do it.

I’m really stressed right now the 15,000 pesos cost for ct scan is same with my monthly salary, We have bills and foods to pay, I don’t know if it will be enough 😭 and I hope this problem comes to an end.

anyone from Philippines who can advise us how what should we do? Where to ask financial assistance here?

Hi Leinssi,

I really hate to hear you are in this situation. I hope you can find the support you need to get this done for your mother. There has to be someone in the Philippines on this site that can help. Converting the 15,000 Philippine Peso to US dollar looks to be about $267 (if my conversion site did it correctly).

Please look into your resources near you. Your mother definitely needs this CT scan and there are no options around it.

Let's see if there are any others that can contribute to this post with ideas you can use to help you.

🧡🧡🤟🤟 Tom
