Please help my sister, Vicky, beat cancer
Donation protected
I’ve thought long and hard about this because much as we’d like to just keep it to ourselves, the reality of the situation is that my sibling is in dire need of financial help due to a life-threatening crisis. My sister, Vicky, who resides in Manila, Philippines was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma on September 1, 2021. She is a single parent, a mother to two beautiful daughters who are both in the medical field : Gella is a nurse and Macy is a lab scientist.. One would surmise that money should not be an issue then. But the sad and harsh truth is they are both grossly underpaid, making less than $500/month. And they also know the truths of the Philippine healthcare system and the financial struggle they are facing. So we knew we all had to step in to shoulder her treatment. Vicky has been undergoing weekly doses of chemo drugs and injections, gets lab work done every 2 weeks to check levels to prepare her to be a candidate for bone marrow transplant. And hopefully she will go into remission. Her medical expenses have amounted to $4500 a month which we have managed to raise amongst ourselves but now we are facing the biggest hurdle which is the transplant and a month-long hospitalization which we were told will amount to P2.5 million Pesos. I know it’s a lot of money. And I don’t know how and where we are going to raise it. And that is why I am begging you : can you please spare us some? I don’t know if I or any of my family will be able to repay your kindness. All I know is that I need to do anything and everything I can to help my sister right now. Anything helps. And I thank you from the bottom of my heart. May the good Lord bless you and your family and repay your kindness towards my sister.
