Emmanuel was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in March. The oncology team at Dasmariñas Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Emmanuel is 42, worked as a tailor until March, 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 Dasmariñas Regional Medical Center 4 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 $300 goes: • Scans and lab work: $130 • Transport to Dasmariñas Regional Medical Center: $75 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $95 Thanks for reading all this.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 50% now ($149). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

  3. Update from Dasmariñas: I made the first payment toward scans and lab work. We're at 31% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us. - Liza

  • Thinking of you and your family, Liza. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

    • Thinking of you, Liza. Hope you get there. Take care!

      • Keep going, Liza. Shared this with my family. Take care.

        • everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Casablanca donated after I showed her your page.

          • thinking of you and your family, Liza. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.

            • Thinking of you, Liza. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.

              • Hope it all works out. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Put this on a community board in Los Angeles this morning.

                • Keep going, Liza. Get well soon. Take care.

                  • Take care, Liza. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Makati but we're thinking of you
