Prayers for Ate Sheila "Shy" Marquez

Dear Friends and Family,

I'm writing this on behalf of the Marquez family. as our dear *Ate Sheila “Shy” Marquez* is currently in the ICU of Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Australia and she is in critical condition after suffering a devastating brain aneurysm.

On January 15, Ate Sheila underwent emergency surgery, requiring doctors to open her skull and place her in a medically induced coma to stabilize her condition. She is now in the ICU, where she will need to remain under intensive care for at least 21 days. Recovery may take several months, and the road ahead is long and uncertain.

Despite these challenges, we remain steadfast in our hope and faith. Ate Sheila has always been a source of light, love, and strength to everyone around her. Her kindness, generosity, and enduring spirit have touched countless lives. Whether offering wise advice, a warm embrace, or simply a listening ear, Sheila has always been there for others—and now she needs us.

We humbly ask for your prayers and support during this critical time. Your prayers for Ate Sheila’s healing and recovery mean the world to us and give us strength to face each day.

Currently, we are exhausting all options to get assistance to cover Ate Sheila's medical bills through family, friends, government, and non-government organizations.

As of now, her hospital bill estimate is already at *$200,000 AUD*. If you find it in your heart to give, we would be deeply grateful for your contribution toward Ate Sheila’s medical expenses. No amount is too small—every dollar brings us closer to ensuring Ate Sheila gets the care she needs.

We hold onto hope and eagerly await the day that we will see Ate Sheila's beautiful smile again. With your prayers and generosity, we believe in the power of miracles and God’s grace to see her through this journey.

Thank you for your love, prayers, and any support you can offer. May God bless you abundantly for your kindness and compassion.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The Marquez Family
