Heart Surgery for Patia's Uncle Albino

Donation protected
Hi all,

For those of you who know Patia personally, you know that she was raised by an incredibly loving mother, Tita Borja. Patia’s generosity and natural instinct to give back to and stand up for people is due in large part to watching the way her mother cared for and gave to others even when she didn’t have much to give.

Now Tita’s brother and Patia’s Uncle, Albino, is in need of life-saving heart surgery. He is located in Samar in the Philippines and needs to travel to the Manila Heart Center to receive a proper diagnosis for his condition. The family is looking to raise funds to ensure Albino can get the surgery and treatment he needs to save his life.

Albino’s father sadly passed due to not being able to access the treatment and surgery he needed. Albino is 55 years old and has much more life ahead of him. His biggest wish is to survive to see his three children succeed.

The money raised by this fundraiser will help cover the surgery, travel, and accommodation for Albino and his family, in addition to recovery and post-surgery medication.

Generosity and love are pillars of their family. Following in that tradition, any contribution is much appreciated no matter how big or small.
