I’m reaching out on behalf of my cousin.

A Mother's Plea: Support Lucas Antonio's NICU Battle

Hello, My name is Katrina Garcia, and I'm a 26-year-old mother from the Philippines, reaching out with a heavy heart and a desperate plea. Just one week ago, I gave birth to my beautiful son, Lucas Antonio, at only 23 weeks via an emergency C-section. A tear in his amniotic sac sent me into dangerously early labor, and now, my tiny boy is fighting for every breath in the NICU at Angeles University Foundation Medical Center.

Lucas is a fighter. He's already endured antibiotics and incubation, bravely battling against all odds. But the harsh reality is that the medical costs for his care are overwhelming my family.

Even just one week postpartum, I've had to return to work, trying to make ends meet, but it's simply not enough.

We are determined to do everything in our power to give Lucas the chance he deserves. We're humbling ourselves and asking for your help. Any amount, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in covering Lucas's critical medical treatments. We understand that everyone is facing their own challenges, and we appreciate any support you can offer during this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you for being a part of Lucas Antonio's journey and for your incredible generosity
