My name is Reliza Ann, and I am raising funds for my oldest brother, John Paul Abarabar, who recently passed away in the Philippines. John Paul had been sick for a year, bravely fighting through a stroke and seizures. He was not only our eldest sibling but also the protector of our family, always putting others before himself. He leaves behind a loving wife and three wonderful children, all of whom are struggling to cope with this loss.

John Paul was the kind of brother who was always there to listen, to guide, and to encourage me to keep studying and working hard. His passing has left a huge hole in our hearts, and the financial burden of his hospital bills and funeral costs has been overwhelming for our family. His wife is doing her best to manage everything back home, but the expenses are more than we can handle alone.

I have never been the type of person to ask for help or anything from others, and I never want to be a burden. But this is for my brother, and even I cannot cover the cost on my own. It takes a lot for me to reach out like this, but I am trying to be strong for my family. We are reaching out for help to cover the hospital bills, funeral costs, and to secure a resting place for John Paul. Any support you can give will help our family come together during this difficult time and honor the memory of a truly special person. Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Maraming Salamat po! God bless
