<div><strong> URGENT UPDATE: Andrea Needs Our Help Now More Than Ever </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With a heavy heart, yet unwavering faith, I come to you once again to ask for your prayers and urgent support for our dear Andrea.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On <strong><em>March 26, 2026</em></strong>, Andrea underwent a PET scan to determine the next step in her cancer journey. We held onto hope and prayed for good news—but the results have brought us to an even more critical moment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Andrea’s <strong>Stage 4 Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC)</strong> has now <strong>metastasised to her brain</strong>. Doctors have found <strong>twenty-four (24) tumours</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is devastating news… but there is still hope.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong> Andrea has a chance.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These tumours can be treated through <strong>Gamma Knife surgery</strong>—a highly precise, non-invasive procedure that can help <strong>extend her life and, most importantly, give her quality time</strong>. Time to keep fighting. Time to keep loving. Time to keep living.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>However, this life-giving procedure comes with a heavy cost—approximately <strong>₱600,000</strong>, including the surgery, hospital stay in Manila, and travel expenses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>⏳ Time is critical.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are humbly knocking on your hearts once more.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you can find it within you to help—no matter how small—your generosity could be the very thing that helps save Andrea’s life. Every donation, every share, every prayer matters more than words can express.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><strong><em>Story posted last 12 May 2025:</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>From the heart of a friend—</em><strong><em>Cielomar</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hello, my name is <em>Cielomar</em>, and I’m reaching out today with a heavy yet hopeful heart to ask for your help and prayers for someone very dear to me—our beloved <strong>Andrea Arancillo</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On Wednesday, 7 May 2025, I received the heartbreaking news that <strong>Andrea </strong>has been diagnosed with <em>Stage 4 Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC)</em>. The tumor is in her left kidney and has metastasized to her bones, liver and lungs It was discovered purely by chance, after what seemed like an ordinary accident. On 11 March 2025, <strong>Andrea </strong>slipped and fell hard. Thinking it was just a painful muscle injury, she kept going for physical therapy. But during her sessions, <strong>Andrea </strong>noticed the pain was getting worse. This led to further tests, which eventually showed lysis in her bones. Further tests were done to determine the primary source of the lesions. Eventually it was discovered she had a 5cm tumor in her left kidney, and a biopsy revealed the devastating diagnosis.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Andrea </strong>had no clear symptoms before the fall—no warning signs, no reason to suspect anything was wrong. Life changed in an instant.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Andrea </strong>is currently on oral medication plus monthly injections for her bone (Denosumab). <strong>Andrea </strong>would eventually need a nephrectomy to remove her left kidney.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Those of us who know <strong>Andrea </strong>know her to be fiercely independent, incredibly strong, and always full of life. But right now, she needs more than her strength—she needs us. She needs our prayers, our support, and, if possible, our help to shoulder the overwhelming financial burden that comes with treatment in the Philippines.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>An illness of this magnitude doesn’t only take a toll on the body and spirit—it weighs heavily on the heart and finances. And that’s why I’ve set up this GoFundMe page. Every little bit helps—whether it’s a prayer, a kind word, or a donation—to bring <strong>Andrea </strong>comfort, healing, and hope.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is our chance to show <strong>Andrea </strong>that she is not alone. That even in her darkest hour, she is surrounded by love, compassion, and unwavering faith.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let us be the reminder that miracles still happen. That kindness is a force. That hope, when shared, multiplies. This is our moment to show <strong>Andrea </strong>that she is not alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please, help us give <strong>Andrea </strong>the gift of tomorrow. Let her wake to brighter days, comforted by the knowledge that she is deeply loved and never forgotten.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Keep her close in your hearts, your thoughts, and your prayers. May God’s infinite love, boundless mercy, and healing grace shine upon Andrea and all those walking this difficult path.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you, from the depths of my soul. May your generosity return to you a millionfold.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With all hope and sincerity,
</div>
<div><br />

<div><strong><em>Note:</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>GoFundMe Simple pricing, powerful fundraising</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>One small transaction fee is automatically deducted per donation. Everything else goes directly to your cause, because that’s what matters most. Here’s how it works.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>Fundraising for an Individual:</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>No fee to create a fundraiser – ($0.00) There’s no fee to start or manage your fundraiser.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Donor contributions to GoFundMe are optional - ($0.00) Donors can help power GoFundMe with an optional contribution, but it’s never required.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>One transaction fee – (2.2% + $0.30) - Automatically deducted from each donation, so you never have to worry about paying a bill. International transaction and conversion fees may apply based on your payment method (*GST included).
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>Let’s do the maths together</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you donated $100, your recipient would receive $97.50:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>Transaction fee calculation = ($100*2.20%)+$0.30 = $2.50</em>
</div>
<div><em>Net Donation/Contribution calculation = $100-$2.50 = $97.50</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>GoFundMe Tip:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tipping is optional, and the tip amount can be changed to 0. Donors can choose any amount, including 0, for their tip. If you do not want to leave a tip, you can enter $0.00 OR on the slider, slide it to 0%.
