My cousin, Paul Christian Pontigon, is a 43-year-old loving father, brother, and friend who is now facing one of the hardest battles of his life.

Paul has been diagnosed with a severe herniated disc (L4-L5 with sequestration to L5-S1) that has left him in unbearable pain, unable to work, and living with disability. Despite treatment, his condition has worsened. Doctors have urgently recommended a Minimally Invasive Microlumbar Discectomy to relieve the pressure on his spinal nerves and give him the chance to live pain-free again.

According to his medical team at the Philippine General Hospital, the estimated cost of surgery, hospital care, and recovery is ₱650,000–₱700,000 (USD $16,000–$17,500)—an amount far beyond what our family can afford. Until this surgery is done, Paul remains classified as a person with disability, unable to return to work or daily life.

Paul is a kind and hardworking man who has always put others first. Now, he needs us. We are humbly reaching out to friends, family, and kind-hearted souls to help raise the funds for his surgery.

✨ Every donation—big or small—will make a life-changing difference. ✨

If you cannot give financially, please consider sharing this campaign so we can reach more people who might be able to help.

Together, we can give Paul the gift of healing, mobility, and hope.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your prayers, generosity, and support. God bless you all! ❤️
