Fighting multiple myeloma: help Ramon afford treatment in Manila
Ramon is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇵🇭 Manila, Metro Manila, Philippines766 views
Ramon was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in October. The oncology team at Manila University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in January. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Ramon is 31, worked as a bakery worker until October, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Manila University Hospital 5 times a week, and the income the family has lost add up quickly.
We've already sold what we could and have begun borrowing for groceries. Every kindness from you takes weight off his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $650 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $360
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $130
• Transport to Manila University Hospital: $160
With deep gratitude,
Teresita

Take care, Teresita. Hope this works out for you.
Wishing you peace. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'll check back for the next update. God bless
Hope things get better soon, Teresita. Hope the doctors have good news. We're a small family in Seoul but we're thinking of you. All the best.
wishing Ramon a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Love from Pasig
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My husband and I read this together. Love from Newcastle upon Tyne.
