Help Support family's medical struggles in the Philippines

Donation protected
My family in the Philippines has hit a string of significant medical issues. On 12/10, my brother suffered a heart attack. He was hospitalized in the ICU and needed an angioplasty. Then, on 12/16, my mom suffered her second stroke. Beyond addressing the blockages of the heart, a scan of the brain and an MRA shows clotting issues that need to be addressed in her arteries and the vessels in the brain, leading to an extensive hospital stay in the ICU and expensive surgeries. Beyond the current expenses, we will need to address their medicine costs for the rest of their lives.

I am starting this GoFundMe page to help me with these bills. I am covering what I can, but the immediate cost of hospitalization, transportation, and initial medical services are beyond what I can handle right now, never mind the surgeries on the heart and brain.

I appreciate any donations and realize that we are all going through our own needs during these difficult days and, in particular, this time of year. Thank you for any support you can help me with. My family appreciates you.

To help understand the cost, my brother's full hospital stay was $3000 including the angioplasty.
My mother is just beginning her care and it is already up to $3000 and we are in the process of determining the next steps.
