Good day. We write this request to take our chances in requesting for assistance. Our 87-year old mother was confined due to Covid (and a lot more complications due to this) from August 13 to September 14, 2021. Her total bill reached 1.1M and then reduced to 530k which is still significantly high. She has post covid recovery medicines and activities to help her recover. If there is any help we can get from your agency. Thank you.
