Support Ate Eloisa’s Recovery After Lapu-Lapu

It’s been a year since our Ate Eloisa visited our city of Vancouver as a tourist. During her visit she fell in love with the beautiful scenery our nature offered, the delicious culturally diverse cuisines, and the friendly strangers, new friends, and new family she had met.

It didn’t take long for Ate Eloisa to see herself raising her family in our city.

This past year, she and her husband worked together to make the necessary ends meet to leave the UK and start a new chapter of their lives with their baby Noa in Canada.

Just a month ago, Vancouver welcomed a new family from the UK.

Following the tragic events that took place at the Lapu-Lapu day festival, our Ate Eloisa was rushed to the hospital unconscious as she endured severe trauma to her head, a collapsed lung, and broken spinal cord.

Fortunately she was attended by the incredible team of doctors and nurses at VGH where she underwent a successful surgery to reattach and stabilize her spine. Although Ate Eloisa may never walk again, her spirit remains strong and with her family.

To this day she continues to fight for her recovery.

Knowing our Ate Eloisa, she would rather fight this battle alone than with the help of her community. We however believe she is the most deserving person of any help and support she can get.

We hope that this fundraiser will give her the time she needs to focus on her recovery from this traumatic life-altering experience.

Thank you and God bless <3
