Support RJ's Stroke Recovery

Donation protected
HELLO EVERYONE! I have always been an advocate for supporting and donating to numerous charitable organizations and never thought I would be doing this, but my son needs to recover and live a normal life. I am starting this fundraiser, and I'm humbly asking for any support— even just a share would mean a lot.

On Tuesday, May 5, 2026, my son RJ (Roland) was hospitalized in the ICU after suffering a brain bleed and stroke. Before being hospitalized, RJ had been dealing with a lot of stress, which took a toll on him. He endured three days of throbbing headaches and blurred vision in his left eye. Despite taking Tylenol, the pain did not subside. On May 5, RJ's girlfriend Cherry rushed him to the hospital as his condition worsened. He suffered severe headaches, often described as the 'worst headache of his life.' His blood pressure was dangerously high, and doctors said he could have lost his life if he had waited another day. RJ suffered a mild stroke and brain aneurysm, causing blood vessels to rupture near his brain. As a mother, this was one of the scariest moments to witness.

RJ is now struggling to walk and will need rehabilitation and significant lifestyle changes. He is a wonderful son— always there for others without hesitation. Now, he cannot work for a while and faces ongoing medical care and mounting expenses. RJ and our family are doing our best to process everything, but the financial burden is overwhelming. Every little bit helps, and your support will make a difference and is deeply appreciated. I know everyone is facing their own battles, so thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading this. Please donate and support my son's stroke recovery.
