Hi, my name is Raize Erin and I’m humbly asking for your help to save my mother, Vanesa, who’s now battling Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Stage 5, caused by long-term hypertension complications. She now takes eight types of medicines or fifteen tablets a day that cost several thousand pesos daily just to maintain her condition and keep her body healthy enough while we wait for her transplant. As her daughter, it’s heartbreaking to watch someone so strong and selfless face such a life-threatening battle.

Thankfully, my uncle has stepped up as a donor, but even with this miracle, the total cost from tests to surgery and recovery - ranges from ₱1.2 to 2 million (around $35,000–$53,000 USD), far beyond what we can manage alone.

For 16 years, my mom has worked in Research and Development, leading projects that improve education, supporting initiatives to reform the justice system using AI, sustainability, and women’s empowerment through tech and innovation.

A message from my father:

"We believe God moves through people, and if you’re reading this, perhaps you’re part of the miracle we’ve been praying for."

This fight is not just mine - my sister Hailey, my father and our entire family are standing together, doing everything we can to give our mom the best chance at recovery. But we can’t do this alone, we’re hoping that your kindness will help carry us through.

From the bottom of our hearts - thank you for your prayers, kindness, and support. Together, we can give our mom a second chance at life. May God bless you all! Dios mabalos!

Please note that I am based in the Philippines and have listed Australia as the campaign location solely to meet approval requirements. The GoFundMe beneficiary is Angeline Bucad (Mom’s cousin) to help transfer the funds securely to the Philippines.

With love and hope,

Raize Erin and Family
