Stand by Chito: Dialysis and Transplant

Help Chito Fight Kidney Failure

Hi everyone, I'm reaching out to ask for help for a dear friend of mine, Chito Bandujo, who is currently battling kidney failure in the Philippines. Both of his kidneys are no longer functioning, and he now depends on regular dialysis treatments to stay alive while waiting and hoping for a kidney transplant.

I met Chito when we worked together, and over time we became more than just coworkers—we became like family. He’s one of the kindest, most genuine people I know. Chito also served as a missionary and later became an MTC teacher, always giving his time and heart to help others. He was also studying at Brigham Young University–Hawaii, but due to his declining physical condition and financial struggles, he made the hard decision to return to the Philippines to be with his family—where they can care for him more closely.

But even with the love and support of his family, the financial burden is overwhelming. Medical expenses in the Philippines are very high, especially for dialysis and the potential transplant process. We are doing our best to support him, but we need help.

If you’re able to give anything—no matter how small—it will go directly toward Chito’s medical bills, dialysis sessions, and future transplant-related care. And if you're not in a position to donate, we’d be so grateful if you could share this campaign with others who might.

Thank you so much for your support, prayers, and kindness. Let’s help Chito continue this fight and remind him that he’s not alone.
