my mom's wish to return to Manila

Donation protected
Hello Folks!

          I am raising funds for my mom that has been and still is battling cancer for almost 9 years. She had over 5 surgeries on her face and countless chemo treatments, but recently the doctors gave up and told us that she has only a few more months to live. 

My aunt (left side) and my mom at one of her chemo sessions. 

         Her only wish is to return to our country, the Philippines at the end of this month (June).  She wishes to be reunited with her husband whom she hasn't seen in 2 years because of the treatments she needed here in the U.S. and because of our financial situation. Although they talk daily on the phone, it is not the same as being with him in person.

         My mom and I used to share a small apartment, but she is currently living with my aunt that has been so kind to take care of her and even take her to her endless doctor appointments whenever I can't. I am raising funds for the plane tickets originally for her and myself so I can drop her off because she can't travel alone. However, because of my situation, transitioning into a new job soon and moving to a different place, I cannot go with her.

        My aunt will go with her. I am raising funds for their tickets and travel expenses. My aunt is willing to assist her for a week untill she settles in. We still have to figure out her medications and alternative treatments while she's in Manila. As soon as she stops all the treatments here, the cancer can grow tremendously and her life can be in danger. 

       Their tickets costs $2,600 (for both) and we are hoping for an extra $1,000 for travel expenses and all the medical expenses. 

Couple months after a major surgery on her face.

        I would appreciate any donations and I am sure she would appreciate it too. Your help will make her feel like she's not alone in this HARD season of her life.

A recent picture after not having any chemo, couple more tumors grew on her face immediately. 

    Also, please join us in prayer. We have prayed for many years that God would fully heal her and we are still believing that He can. Through all of this pain and hardship, she remains strong in her faith and she has so much daily joy that God fills her with. It is inspiring to so many! 

   Thank you so much for your help and prayers! They mean so much to me and to my mom. There is nothing more that I would like to see than to see her go back home where she desires to be. 

Sincerely, 
Carl.
