My name is Andrew Scott Rubinoff, and I am an American living in the Phillipines. I am 42 years old, and have a wife and a 2 sons. I am currently living on a small disability pension ($557.00 a month), which is very hard for my family and I. I was recently diagnosed with an intestinal hernia, which is now protruding from my stomach approx. 13 inches in diameter.
I am in need of surgery to repair the intestinal hernia before it ruptures; if it ruptures, I will die. Of course, living on such a small amount makes having the surgery that will save my life a mere hope. I have contacted the US Embassey here in Manila, they say they cannot help. On dec 27 i was in a head on collision while riding my motorcycle the other driver was found at fault but his insurance only covered 1/4 of the expensise occured by the accident and he took off hiding so he could avoid paying the rest of the bills . which totaled over 90,000 pesos which converted to dollars comes to $1,957. then on jan 21 my wife had to rush me to the hospital only to find out that i needed an emergency operation to remove my gallbladder which was badly infected and damaged and also had a gallstone 2 inches in diameterthat was a total of 190,000 pesos which in dollars comes out to $4,045.00
Here the operation is simple and inexpensive about $190,000 pesos which comes out to $4,045 plus medication and follow-up doctors' visits yet I cannot bear the thought of leaving my wife and sons behind . my wife and i are in so much debt do to the medical problems with my small pension we cant pay all of our bills and i dont have enought money to buy food for us or milk and diapers for my 2 baby boys or pay for the injections they need for their vacinations or for their vitiamins . i am emmbarrsed but i am begging any one for any help they can give us please. IF I CAN GET ANY ASSISTANCE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING I WOULD BE VERY THANKFUL I NEED HELP TO HAVE MY OPERATION BEFORE IT IS TO LATE AND ANY OTHER ASSISTANCE IF I CAN GET A SPONSOR FOR MY WIFE TO GO TO THE U.S SO SHE CAN WORK AND I CAN MAYBE HAVE MY OPERATION THERE AT NO COST AND ALSO I CAN BRING MY 2 SONS WHOM I CAN REGISTER HERE AS AMERICAN CITIZENS AND THEY WILL HAVE THEIR AMERICAN PASSPORTS OR IF ANY ONE CAN HELP FINANCIALLY SO I CAN GET BACK ON MY FEET I CAN PAY IT BACK IN SMALL AMOUNTS EVERY MONTH BUT THE TOTAL AMOUNT NEEDED TO PAY THE HOSPITAL BILLS FOR THE PAST AND FOR THE OPERATION I NEED NOW COMES TO 470,000 PESOS WHICH COMES TO IN DOLLARS A TOTAL OF $10,000 PLEASE ANY HELP IN ANY WAY YOU CAN I WOULD BE IN YOUR DEBT Sincerely, Andrew Scott Rubinoff CONTACT INFO: PLEASE VISIT MY WEB SITE WWW.HELPSAVEANDREW.COM or
