Hope for Maryrose
Donation protected
Blessed day to everybody!
Let me start by introducing my beautiful sister Maryrose . Ate Roc (big sister in Tagalog), is our oldest sister among 6 girls. She is based in the Philippines with her husband Jamir and 3 children, Rigel, Bea and Eomer.
Maryrose has stood up as our matriarch since our mother passed away in 2007 from Breast cancer at the age of 64. In 2013, Maryrose was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer as well. She went through double mastectomy and reconstruction and chemotherapy. She recovered well then the devastating news came in March 2016...the cancer has spread to her bones then to the brain in November.
This overwhelming news has just been too much for our family as this is bringing back the pain we went though with our mother and relatives who have left us from this epidemic.
My sister made good for herself as a dentist. But as most of all you know, health insurance in the Philippines is despicable. She has maxed out her medical insurance for the cancer treatment and her savings from her lifetime of work is drained. My brother in law is the only one working now . My family and relatives have been contributing to the costs of treatment but it is not enough. She went through radiation treatment but this has caused some complications. She has been in out of the hospital for transfusions every two to three days. As we speak, this is her third day in the hospital and they are going to do more tests and procedures.
As much as we can, we do not want to burden anybody to help us with this financial strain my sister and her family is in right now. Maryrose has been very proactive in doing medical/dental missions in our province and always ready to lend a hand to a person in need. Now it's time to pay it forward. She is just that kind, nurturing, peace-maker, loving mom, sister, and loyal friend to the people who know her. And she is a fighter. She is fighting this battle for her children and husband and showing us all that faith and love can move mountains .
I am asking you now to help us in this journey and continue to pray that there is HOPE for MARYROSE.
