Help Bring Our Uncle Home for Final Goodbyes

Donation protected
Dear family and friends,

We are deeply saddened to share the news that our uncle, Sonny Bagalawis, has passed away. His sudden departure has left a deep sadness in our hearts as we were not prepared for this loss. During his trip to the Philippines, he fell ill quite suddenly. He did not receive the best medical attention due to the hospital not being equipped enough to meet his medical needs, and his condition worsened. Unfortunately, he did not survive. His body remains in the Philippines, and we are now focused on working closely with the necessary authorities to ensure that his body is returned home safely. This process is crucial for us, as it allows us to lay him to rest properly and say our final goodbyes.

Our uncle did not have any children of his own, but he cared deeply for his nieces and nephews. He always made an effort to spoil us with toys and gifts, showing his love through thoughtful gestures. Even during difficult times, he never asked for anything in return except for our time and attention. This selflessness made us appreciate him even more and created a strong bond between us.

This is a challenging time for us, and we appreciate any support you can provide. Regardless of the amount, it will help us create a respectful farewell that reflects the love and respect we have for him.

Thank you for standing by us with compassion and for your heartfelt generosity.
