Help Fund Philip’s Brain Tumor Surgery

Hi, my name is Ted DeSimone, and I’m starting this fundraiser for my brother, Philip DeSimone. 

Philip is 28 years old, he received devastating news—he was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor and needed immediate brain surgery.

Without health insurance and facing limited options back home, Philip made the incredibly difficult decision to travel alone to Malaysia to undergo urgent, life-saving brain surgery. Thanks to the skill and care of his medical team, the surgery was a success—but the financial burden it left behind has been overwhelming.

The total cost of his procedure, hospital stay, medications, and recovery expenses has added up to $25,000.

Philip is an incredibly kind and selfless person. He’s always been the type to put others first, whether it’s family, friends, or anyone who needed a hand. Any amount you can give—whether big or small—will go directly toward covering the medical expenses from his surgery and helping him focus on healing. 

If you aren’t in a place to give, sharing this with others would mean the world to us!

Thank you so much for your support, your kindness, and your prayers. We’re forever grateful
