<div>Hi, my name is Ces, and I'm reaching out with a heart full of both hope and grief. I currently live and work in Chicago, while my family is in the Philippines. I’ve always done my best to support them financially — but right now, we’re facing an overwhelming crisis that I can no longer handle alone.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>A Sudden Loss. On April 16, 2025, my beloved sister passed away unexpectedly due to a burst appendix and severe infection. It broke our hearts and turned our world upside down. We never imagined that just weeks later, our family would face another devastating challenge.

<div>My Father’s Health Battle

</div>

<div>Shortly after my sister’s passing, my father’s rectal cancer returned. What we thought was a manageable concern quickly escalated. Doctors discovered lumps in his pancreas, and he began experiencing severe chest and back pain, along with jaundice due to his pancreas not functioning properly.

</div>

<div>He’s now been in the hospital for over 35 days. A metal stent was placed to help with his bile flow, but his condition remains critical:

</div>

<ul>

<li>His blood pressure and hemoglobin levels keep dropping

</li>

<li>There is continuous blood draining from his colostomy bag

</li>

<li>The doctors are concerned that the cancer may have spread to his lungs or other organs, and a biopsy is urgently needed

</li>

</ul>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Being far from home during this time is excruciating. I send as much money as I can from my job here in Chicago, but our medical bills are piling up beyond what I can manage alone. My mother is trying to stay strong, but after the loss of my sister and the uncertainty around my father’s condition, it’s incredibly hard. I know that many people assume life in America means having plenty — but like many immigrants, I work hard just to stay afloat and support my loved ones back home.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I know there’s so much pain in the world, but if you’ve read this far — thank you. Your kindness, your prayers, or your donation — no matter how small — means more than words can say.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>How the Funds Will Help:

</div>

<ul>

<li>Ongoing hospital bills

</li>

<li>Surgery, medications, and diagnostics (CT scans, biopsy, etc.)

</li>

<li>Blood transfusions and post-hospital care

</li>

<li>unpaid hospital costs related to my sister death.

</li>

</ul>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Even if you can't donate, please consider sharing this campaign. Every act of kindness matters. From the bottom of my heart — thank you for helping me carry this load.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With Love,

</div>

<div>Ces
