Hello everyone,

My name is Crystal, and my family and I are asking for support during one of the most painful and tender moments we have ever faced.

My father in law, 64 years old, was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer on November 27th, 2024. He bravely underwent chemotherapy, but the treatments have stopped working. His medical team has now discontinued chemo and radiation, and we are focusing entirely on making him as comfortable as possible as he battles constant pain.

Through everything, Dad has remained the loving, generous soul he has always been.

He has welcomed everyone into his home with warmth and kindness. To every friend of his sons and daughters, he would smile and say, “Call me Dad.”

He has loved his grandkids as if they were his own children, and the memories they share are some of the brightest parts of our lives. He is a man who has inspired many simply by how he lived — with humility, hospitality, and a heart that never ran out of room for others.

Now, we are asking for help to honor his final and deeply meaningful wish.

Dad wants to return to his homeland, the Philippines.

With his treatments now stopped, our goal is to bring him home as soon as possible so he can spend his remaining time in the place that shaped him, surrounded by the comfort and familiarity of where his life began.

How the funds will be used

All donations will go toward:

• Travel arrangements to bring Dad safely to the Philippines

• Medical needs and pain management during this time

• General care and support to make sure his quality of life is as smooth, peaceful, and dignified as possible

• Any remaining medical expenses

We are doing everything we can as a family, but the costs are overwhelming, and time is incredibly precious.

If you’re able to donate, share, or even just send love and prayers, we are deeply grateful. Your support helps us give Dad the care, comfort, and final wish he truly deserves.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Your kindness means more than we can express.
