Emelita L. Villegas

Hello I’m Marissa V Tabing.

Our beloved family matriarch – Emelita Villegas, peacefully passed away at home on September 29 surrounded by family, after a long and challenging battle with cancer since 2019.

It was her fervent last wish to be buried next to her husband in the Philippines. To honor this wish, we will need to bring her body back home, which is going to be costly for our family who currently is going through additional challenges. My brother-in-law is the sole provider for a family of 5, as my own sister is also going through aggressive treatment for cancer as well, which she has been doing while caring for our dying mother.

We are endeavoring to fulfill our mother’s wish to rest in peace at home, in the face of steep costs. Any amount would help us in this painful time for our family as we grieve, face our ongoing challenges, and finally bring our mother home.

We thank you for any help you can provide us during this time.
