Melba, my mother-in-law, is a loving and devoted mother who has always put her family first. On Easter Sunday, our world was turned upside down when she was suddenly admitted to the ICU with a life-threatening aortic dissection. The doctors at Queens Hospital in Hawaii are prepared to perform immediate surgery, but the costs are overwhelming. Without medical insurance, Melba's family is responsible for all medical, travel, and lodging expenses, as well as caring for her children during this crisis.

Melba has always been the heart of our family, offering support and kindness to everyone around her. Now, she needs our help more than ever. The funds raised will go directly toward covering the costs of her urgent surgery, ongoing medical care, and the travel and lodging needed for her family to be by her side. This support will also help provide stability and care for her children while she recovers.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help bring Melba the care she desperately needs. Please join us in rallying around Melba and her family during this emergency. Your kindness and generosity will make a world of difference and show them they are not alone.
