Dear friends, family, and kind hearts,

I’m reaching out with deep humility and hope for my beloved father, Artemio “Temmy” Nicolas, who is now courageously battling liver cancer in the Philippines.

In the past weeks, our family has gone through an emotional and physical storm. My dad has been confined for more than two weeks in two different hospitals, undergoing countless medical procedures — CT scans, ultrasounds, colonoscopy, endoscopy, biopsies, blood cultures, and more — before we finally received the heartbreaking diagnosis: liver cancer.

The road has been long, painful, and overwhelming. Medical bills have piled up from all the hospital stays, tests, and medications. Yet despite the exhaustion and fear, our family has made a firm decision — to keep fighting, and to give my dad a chance through immunotherapy. It is our only hope to slow down the disease and improve his quality of life.

My dad, lovingly known as “Temmy,” has always been the pillar of our family — a quiet, humble, and hardworking man who devoted his life to his loved ones. Seeing him now in this condition is heartbreaking, but his will to live and our faith in God keep us moving forward.

We are humbly knocking on your hearts to help us continue his fight — through financial support for his immunotherapy, medications, and ongoing hospital care. Every single contribution, no matter how small, means another day of hope and strength for him.

Please also include my dad in your prayers for healing, comfort, and courage. Your kindness and compassion are the light that helps us keep believing that miracles can still happen.

From the depths of our hearts — thank you for standing with us.

With love and gratitude on behalf of our whole Nicolas Family,

Michelle Nicolas-Abrogena
