Medical funding support for Colin & Yim Wa Paul

Donation protected
Dear Friends, Family & Well Wishers, 

We know it is difficult for many of us as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, but we need your help and appreciate anyone who has assisted us thus far and who can still assist!! This has truly been a whirlwind of a journey.



Colin and Yim Wa Paul live in Trinidad and Tobago. Colin is a dedicated husband who is in need of your assistance. Due to the pandemic, and the local lockdown at the time, he had to close his store at Trincity Mall. Well things did not end there. His wife of 19 years was again diagnosed with cancer in September 2020. Yim Wa attended St Augustine Senior Comp while Colin attended Fatima College, & UWI 1999.  Yim Wa is a warrior and has been through a lot (see history below). "Yim's Yummy Gourmet Tuck Shop" is also not operational, they are both unemployed and in need of financial assistance. Caregiver assistance is too risky and costly so Colin attends to Yim Wa 25 hours a day. This couple has been a loving & shining example of through the tuff times, there is still love.

Yim Wa recently completed chemotherapy treatments which is a major milestone in this battle against cancer.  If you can help in any way financially, it would be a massive help to them towards Yim Wa's medical needs in this difficult time.  

The cost of chemotherapy has been $23,000 USD and PET scan $2,000 USD to date.
