Makati
Lourdes was diagnosed with kidney cancer in May. The oncology team at Makati Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Lourdes is 39, worked as a taxi driver until May, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Makati Regional Medical Center 3 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $500 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $110 • Household costs while unable to work: $280 • Scans and lab work: $110 I hope life is good to you. - Jun

    So sorry you're going through this, Jun. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.

      Take care. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money

                Sending strength, Jun. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
