Hello, friends and family, my name is Monique and I am raising funds for my brother Gilbert who recently suffered a serious stroke and is currently hospitalized in the Philippines. This has been a heartbreaking and overwhelming time for our family. Gilbert's stroke came suddenly and has left him in a critical condition. He's currently receiving urgent medical care.

As many of you know, medical expenses in the Philippines must often be paid out of pocket and upfront to continue medical care. The cost of Gilbert's care, hospital bills, medications, tests are mounting rapidly. We are doing all we can, but we simply can not carry the financial burden alone. We're asking for help, whether it's a donation, a share of this page, or a prayer. Every bit of support brings us one step closer to giving my brother the care that he needs to recover.

Thank you for your kindness, support and generosity. With deep gratitude. Monique and Family.
