Give Hope to Earl: Battling Blood Cancer

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Elvie and I created this GoFundMe for my nephew, Earl.

Earl is 36-years-young and always has a smile on his face. He was recently diagnosed with blood cancer this year, and even with this terrible news, you couldn’t wipe his smile off of him. Earl has always been hardworking and determined. At the beginning of his diagnosis, he continued to work overtime. He even continued to work from the hospital while starting his treatment. Receiving a diagnosis like this is scary and awful for anyone, but Earl keeps us laughing throughout it all.

Earl currently lives in the Philippines, where treatment is scarce and cost of medication is debilitating. Like stated before, he never stopped working through the pain to pay for not only his medical bills, but his cancer medication, JAKAFI. This medication is only manufactured in the US, which makes the cost approximately $350 every week. This is about 20,000 pesos in the Philippines. This cost is not including his routine blood work, other treatments, and doctor’s visits. We are starting this GoFundMe in hopes of alleviating some of the financial burden Earl has to carry daily.

Earl is still very active in his church and community. Before Earl’s diagnosis, him and his work participated in a “give hope” campaign, where they focused on giving shoes and clothes to children in need. We are asking for your help to GIVE HOPE back to Earl. Anything you can share, financially or spiritually, helps keep that contagious smile on his luminous face.

We love you Earl. God loves you even more.
