Hello! This is for my cousin who has been recently diagnosed with osteosarcoma. He is in the Philippines and I am trying to help as much as I can.

This is the statement from my Aunt (his mom)

Help me give my son a chance at life !

Dear friends, family and kind hearted strangers,

I am reaching out with a heavy heart but also with hope and faith. My beloved son, Markus Benjamin, 15 years of age, is a brave young boy who has recently been diagnosed with a high grade malignant bone tumor (high grade Osteo-Sarcoma). This diagnosis has shaken me and his siblings world, but we are determined to fight with all our might and give him the best chance at recovery.

Markus is a caring, fun loving, and full of life child who loves playing guitar and drawing. His innocence and zest for life inspire us everyday. However, the road ahead is daunting. He requires urgent and costly treatment, including chemotheraphy, surgery and on-going care, which I am struggling to afford.

The expenses for his treatment are overwherlming for me as a parent and I am humbly seeking your support. Your donation will go directly towards his medical bills, medication, hospital stays and necessary therapies. No amount is too small-every contribution brings us closer to giving Markus a fighting chance.

I believe in the power of community and kindness. Please consider helping us by donating, sharing this story with others, or keeping my son's name in your thoughts and prayers. Your support means the world to us and could be the key to saving his life.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your compassion and generosity. ​

With hope and gratitude.

"Lord, teach me to trust your heart. Teach me to give it all to you."
