Hi, my name is Kristine and I'm doing fundraising for my upcoming surgery in the Philippines. I'm an international student here in Australia. But suddenly they found out that I have a pituitary tumor in my brain (pituitary macroadenoma).

I cannot afford to have surgery here in Australia since is not covered by insurance. And it's cheaper to have surgery in my home country.

I hope you can help me to raise a fund for my surgery. Any amount would be highly appreciated.

The neurosurgeons doctor told me that I need to have surgery since I'm having bad headaches almost everyday and my vision is also affected.

The first thing I need is money for the plane ticket back home, it's about $550 for the cheapest one. Then the surgery will be around 400,000 pesos [$10,300 AUD].

I'm not really good in expressing but I hope you can help me. May God bless us all. Thank you so much!!

Note: I, Kristine, am the beneficiary, but my Australian bank account has been temporarily blocked, so Sonja Graml will receive the funds on my behalf.

Regards

Kristine
