Save Baby Pio's Lungs

My nephew, Mark Pio (named after St. Pio) Alonzo was born last October 13, 2018 in Cebu Velez General Hospital. He was diagnosed of having Respiratory Distress Syndrome Stage IV. Live Moderately Preterm male neonate delivered via Repeat Cesarean Section secondary to Scarred Uterus with Apgar Score 9,9, Ballard Score 32 weeks, birth weight 1,500g, appropriate for Gestational Age. He has been in the NICU for 19 days and moved out of the unit to a Special Care Unit. 

Hospital bill has ballooned already and all of my sister's savings are already exhausted. Medicines, medical appliances and all the laboratory charges are paid in cash because the hospital won't allow charging them to their account anymore because they have reached the maximum limit for charges (which is only P25,000). Baby Pio is doing great now and we don't know how soon he will be discharged. They have spent US$5,800  or Php308,000 (combined savings and cash advances from our families, relatives and friends) and the recent hospital bill excluding the doctor's professional fees has reached US$6,000 or Php318,000 already.

They need funds everyday to pay for medicines, medical appliances and all laboratory charges. Your financial support for my angel nephew would mean so much to us especially to my sister's family. Please help us give this angel a chance at life.  He is a brave little man who is courageously fighting his greatest battle - his LIFE. 

Thank you and God bless you all.
