Dear Family, Friends and Kind-Hearted Souls,

Please help! JV is currently admitted in a Sydney Hospital after being diagnosed of a Grade 4 Brain Cancer. While we are holding onto hope and cherishing every moment, the reality is that his time is limited.

JV and his wife, Jane, decided to come to Australia, on a Student Visa, soon after their wedding nearly three years ago hoping to build a family in a better place.

Just as the New Year started, they were about to hold a baby shower for their first successful pregnancy when he started having severe headaches and blurry vision.

JV is young, only 29, a good soul and hardworking, has so many plans for his new family and his family back home, Philippines.

As his wife was told, this type of Cancer is very aggressive and rare, and he will need to go through chemo and radiology for treatment. It is still early days but we are unsure of what will be the extent of the rehab that he will need.

Thank you for your kindness, love, and generosity. Together, we can help make JV’s journey as peaceful and dignified as possible.
