Help Save Baby Liam Castro-Sanico in Philippines

Baby Liam Gabriel Castro-Sanico was born on April 9, 2019. He was a long waited blessing to the Castro & Sanico family as he is their first born baby among the siblings of the two parents (Kristel Castro-Sanico & Daryl Sanico). Due to baby Liam's start of life, the families were brought together finding their families united and more intact than ever. 

Though 6 days after, a life threatening incident came to the Castro-Sanico family as Baby Liam started turning yellow and crying weaker soon after his breastfeeding meal. He was immediately brought to the nearest hospital (Unihealth Southwoods Hospital, Philippines) by his maternal and paternal parents with the help of friends, but were not accommodated due to the insufficient number of incubators. Desperately, Liam's parents knocked on strangers' car doors for help to be taken to another hospital, and fortunately "Sir Deo" responded and did his best to help drive Liam's mom and dad to different hospitals until they were accepted--Baby Liam was diagnosed with 63.7% Bilirubin , and a rare blood incompatibility between the mother (O+ blood type)  and its baby (B+ blood type). 

For the most part, in the Philippines, hospitals require paper works and/or downpayments upfront first before any patient is treated. Some hospitals the three had ran into required a Php50k down in order to be treated. This was the case the Castro-Sanico family dealt with, and with baby Liam fighting for his life, the two families were terrified. 

Although the two families were challenged with the hospital's requests to put a down first before any treatment, it never stopped them from fighting for baby Liam's life. Both family are strong believers of God and has complete faith in Him that baby Liam will be treated and recovered too. They believe that prayers will bring miracles to their baby Liam and they ask that we share a prayer to the Castro-Sanico family.

Fortunately, baby Liam was brought out of the critical condition after given a complete blood transfusion at the Perpetual Help Medical Center of Binan Laguna, Philippines where he was openly accepted. 

Though, now that the first challenge was surpassed, another challenge is testing the faith of the families. Baby Liam is required a continuous treatment and rehabilitation to bring him back to his normal health and strength, which is a large lump sun of money for each blood exchange transfusion, and photo therapy done to stabilize bay Liam's situation. But above all, each day that baby Liam is confined to receive his treatments, is a topping 25,000 Philippine Pesos (~$483.76 USD)--an amount that anyone of us can afford.

For this reason, the families reached out to close families/relatives/friends stumbling upon a childhood friend to start this gofundme page for Baby Liam and his family.

We hope you could help us reach the amount of $35,000 USD to help provide baby Liam with a 2-3 months worth of recovery/treatment. We ask for those who can spare any amount kindly make a donation to this nonprofit campaign as we are in desperate need of your help.

Thank you and God Bless your hearts.
