My aunt, who has been the primary caregiver for our grandmother, is currently battling stage 3 breast cancer.

She recently began her chemotherapy journey and has already completed her second session out of eight required before she can move forward with surgery. Each session costs about ₱75,000 (approximately $1,300–$1,400 USD), totaling over $11,000 — and we are still uncertain about the additional cost of her upcoming operation.

Even while undergoing chemotherapy, my aunt continues to care for our elderly grandmother and work during the day in a small family appliance business. Sadly, her salary doesn’t even meet her daily expenses.

Her husband, who works as a trash truck driver, only earns ₱300 ($5 USD) when work is available, leaving them with very limited means to cover the overwhelming medical costs.

Our family has been helping where we can, but the financial burden remains heavy.

We are humbly asking for your support — any amount, no matter how small, would make a world of difference.

Your generosity would help ease her worries so she can focus on healing and spending precious time with her loved ones.

Thank you for keeping her in your prayers and for any help you can give.

The funds will be sent directly to her.

“To highlight the kind nature of my Aunty, here's a little story. When I was little (like 9 years old), there was a certain Filipino snack I LOVED called Nova chips. When aunty Lucy learned how much I loved these chips, she would, without fail, stop past the shops every day to pick me up a packet of Nova chips to enjoy. I am now 31 years old and even whenever I return back to the Phillippines (or when my mum has returned back to the Phillippines) aunty Lucy always makes sure I have a bundle of Nova chips to take home. If you have a spare few dollars you can donate, this would be to the most worthy cause. She is honestly the best type of person there is and doesn't deserve to be in this predicament.”
