To my brothers and sisters, my relatives and friends,
I Marlon Cruz, my brother, Manolo "Manny" Cruz and my sister Theresa Cruz would like to reach out to all of you who can help our family raise funds for my sister's Heart Surgery and Kidney Stone Operation. Her name is Marilyz Cruz, 52 years old, and she does not have a job.
According to the doctors, her condition is getting worse, and she could have a heart attack anytime. We approached charitable institutions PCSO and DSWD, but their process would take months - my sister may not be able to survive it if she would wait to be approved in their programs.
My brother Manolo Cruz and I live in Canada and have maxed out the loans, cash advances from the banks, and borrowing money from friends. We now have some funds, but it's not enough; The hospital wont admit my sister without completing the money. I have attached here below this letter the quote for the Heart Procedure (Coronary Angiogram & Valve Replacement) amounting to a total of 652,000 pesos ($17,500 Cad) this does not include the Kidney Operation that must be done after her heart surgery which would cost Php 250,000 ($6,700 Cad).
My sister is a big lady. She can't move her whole body due to the spread of Edema. She requires several people to help her get through the daily living activities. We couldn't afford a trained caregiver for her - so our 73-year-old mother would need to call the neighbors if they need to replace her diaper or transfer from her bed to wheelchair.
The amount that we still need is $10,000 (Php 370,000); this excludes the kidney operation if ever she will get through the heart operation - God willing.
If you have any questions, please let me know; you may message us here on this GoFundMe account page.
This pandemic is a very tough time for all of us, we do not know what to do anymore, please include her in our prayers. Also, if you could help us, any amount, for my sister - We will be forever indebted to you all.
Many thanks,
Cruz Family
