Update
Hi everyone, I wanted to take a moment to share an update and thank each and every one of you who has supported me so far — whether through donations, kind words, or simply sharing my story. Your love and encouragement mean more than I can ever express. Since my last update, my condition has progressed to Stage 5 Chronic Kidney Disease, and I recently had surgery to prepare for dialysis, which I’m expected to begin by the end of this year. It’s been an emotional and physically challenging time, but I’m staying strong and hopeful. Because of my illness and the increasing medical costs, I’m also in the process of moving to a more affordable place to help ease the financial burden. The funds raised here will now go toward helping me make that transition smoothly — along with covering ongoing medical expenses, dialysis treatments, medications, and travel costs for appointments. Every bit of support continues to make a huge difference in my journey, and I am so grateful for your continued kindness and generosity. Thank you all for standing by me through this. I truly couldn’t do it without you.  

With love and gratitude,
Alba Ocampo
