Hi, my name is Michelle Ediza. I was born and raised in Cebu but now living here in the US. My parents recently were infected with the COVID virus in the Philippines. The Philippines does not have a proper health insurance plan and during these times the hospitals require all patients to have money deposits in their account before and during admission. My parents are both admitted and are quickly reminded by hospitals every time their money deposits are running low. If their funds are not enough, they won’t be given the medication they need. My dad has a heart problem and my mom has bone marrow issues. For now, they are stabilized by constant oxygenation but still have symptoms of shortness of breath, fever, and coughing up of sputum with blood. As much as we try to handle everything, we are now desperate in asking for everyone’s help since our resources are almost depleted. My family will appreciate any amount of help we receive. Your generosity can save my parent’s lives and I will be forever grateful for your kindness.
