My brother Joe, as most of you know, has been in the Philippines for the last year. He just didn’t count on needing surgery. He has no health insurance. American health insurance, even Medicare is no good there. He has 7 kidney stones that need to be surgically removed, one of which involves a stag horn that is over an inch long and they will have to make an incision in his back to remove it.

Joe has no clue that I’m starting this Go Fund Me and I will be blocking him from the post when I share it to Facebook. Any money received will be wired to him and then we will give him the info.

In the Philippines, you must pay up front for surgery or they will keep you in the hospital until it is paid.

Surgery is scheduled for Friday, August 22,2025.

I wish there was more that I could do. If you can spare anything at all, it would be greatly appreciated. It’s so hard when your loved ones are so far away!
