Thank you so much to those who supported this fundraising.
As some of you already know, unfortunately, Mike lost his battle in early March :(
At that time, have stopped accepting donation and was able to forward $1,500AUD to Mike's family, thanks to everyone's generosity.
Mike's family are very thankful for those who donated for his healing, it helped them with the hospital bill.
Unfortunately, they are still struggling to pay it in full due to the huge amount (as per attached)
With this - have decided to start accepting donation again with the aim to help any way we can, big or small goes a long way.
Thank you for your support.
======================================================
It was saddening to hear that on Feb 9, Mike was rushed to Perpetual Help Medical Center Las Pinas via ambulance and was admitted to ICU following admission in the emergency department.
He has been diagnosed with tuberculosis since late last year which meant he had to quit work to get better and has been on ongoing medication since.
However, his condition has worsened early this month due to severe sepsis and lung infection which made him unable to breathe on his own. He needs ongoing mechanical ventilator to support him breathe and currently relying on doctors to keep him alive.
Unfortunately, with the COVID situation in Manila and ICUs already full of COVID patients - there was no other option that would give Mike the care he needs without enormous hospital price tag.
The aim of this fund is to support Mike and family as they are financially struggling to cope with ongoing hospital bills.
All funds raised will assist in Mike's ongoing treatment and give him the fighting chance to recover through this tough time.
Please share this among friends and family as every little bit helps and we appreciate everyone's help and generosity.
