Mark for her medical operation.

Dear Friends and Kind Souls,

Allow me to introduce myself—my name is Mardy Tatad, and I currently reside in the vibrant area of Wembley Park in the United Kingdom. Today, I am reaching out to you with an open heart to share my sister's story and to seek your support through a fundraiser that I have organized for her. My beloved sister, Mark Anthony Tatad, is a remarkable 36-year-old transgender woman who is courageously facing a series of devastating health challenges that have dramatically altered her life.

Mark Anthony is currently in the midst of a fierce battle against multiple critical illnesses. She is grappling with the aftermath of a stroke, struggling with dangerously high blood pressure, and dealing with a serious heart condition characterized by blockages and the risk of blood clots. To compound her struggles, she has recently been diagnosed with liver tumors, a revelation that has sent shockwaves through our family. Each of these health challenges carries significant risks and demands urgent medical intervention. Her heart condition, in particular, is a pressing concern that requires immediate attention, and it is this urgency that has compelled me to take action and start this fundraising campaign. The costs associated with her heart surgery are staggering, and as her sibling, it is heartbreaking to witness her suffering while feeling powerless to alleviate her pain.

As I navigate this difficult journey, I want to share the reality of our situation. Mark resides in the Philippines, a place where access to healthcare is often a daunting challenge. Unlike the more accessible medical services here in the UK, healthcare in the Philippines comes with substantial costs that are often unattainable for many families. Every doctor’s visit, every consultation, and every medical procedure requires upfront payment, and this has placed an enormous financial burden on me as I strive to support her. The urgency of her conditions—particularly the heart blockage and the newly discovered liver tumors—means that we cannot afford to delay treatment.

The emotional toll of this situation has been overwhelming. I find myself grappling with anxiety and depression as I contemplate how I can raise the necessary funds to support my sister through this trying time. There are moments when I feel completely lost and helpless, unsure of where to turn for assistance. This is why I have created this fundraising campaign; it is a beacon of hope in our darkest hour, a way to garner the resources needed to cover her surgical costs and ongoing medical needs.

I am reaching out to you, my community, with a humble request for support. Every single donation, regardless of the amount, will make a profound difference in Mark's life. I may not know many of you personally, but I want you to understand how deeply grateful I am for any assistance you can extend. Your kindness and generosity have the power to change the trajectory of her health and well-being.

If you require any medical documentation or further information to verify her conditions, please do not hesitate to reach out, I am more than willing to share any necessary details to ensure transparency and to help you understand the gravity of the situation.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read my sister's story. Your support means the world to both me and Mark. May you be abundantly blessed for your compassion and kindness during this challenging time in our lives.

With warmest regards and heartfelt gratitude,

Mardy Tatad
