A Mother of five (5) Fighting from Kidney Disease

Needing Your Help for My Dear Sister

Hi Friends,

I wanted to reach out and knock on your kind heart to please help us on the hospital bill of my youngest sister, Ana Ibanez Cruz, Married,45 yrs old, born on March 20, 1977 in Puerto Princesa City, Palawan,Philippines. Have five (5) Children, 3 boys and 2 girls and the youngest is just 10 yrs old.

Year 2015-first admitted at Palawan Adventist Hospital, she stayed there for 2 weeks and she was diagnosed with kidney stones grade 4 for both kidneys (STAGHORN) with infection. Then airlifted to V-LUNA HOSPITAL in Manila for 3 months. The V-LUNA referred to NKTI (National Kidney Institute) and admitted for a month. After removal of some of her kidney stones in the left. Year 2017, re-admitted to V-LUNA HOSPITAL (Manila) for removal some of her kidney stones again, then she had seizures and her infection was too high. She was admitted to ICU.

Year 2018, was removal of her both kidneys in different month, then they put a permanent Cather at her right neck. September started her Hemodialyis at V-LUNA HOSPITAL (Manila). Then 2019, supposed to kidney transplant, but her antibodies was too high that is why it did not push thru.

2020-2021, she still had her Hemodialysis up until now and reoccurrence of infections. July 2022 had severe Neuralgia. August 2022- still had Neuralgia that causes her to be bed ridden and had severe ulceration at her stomach linings that causes her to be re-admitted at Palawan Adventist Hospital. She had 4 units of Blood transfused.

September 2022- was admitted again at Palawan Adventist Hospital, because of quickly collapse of her hand and feet that is why she can't walk. The Doctor's found out it's GULLAIN BARRE SYNDROME (GBS) Auto Immune Disease she had. Then pneumonia with fluctuating Blood Pressure and Vitals. Until now she's still in ICU at Palawan Adventist Hospital. Her current bill is now $11,964 (P670,000 +) and the doctor advised that she needs lots of medicine for the nerves, $500 each (Php 27,000) and her bill might reach $25,000 (Php 1.412M) .Since she is in and supporting her medical needs. My sister is really hoping that her life can still be extended as her five (5) Children are still young. Youngest is just 10 years old, and she wants to still guide and support them as they grow up. We are hoping that you can help her and help us lessen the amount of money that we need to raise for my sister's hospital Bill's. Any amount would be of big help us. May our Lord God be the one to repay you and may HE always bless you. Your help is much appreciated.
