My name is Kaye. I’m the eldest in our family of 3 (with my two brothers and my son) – my mom being a single mother. This is the reason I decided to write our story. We could not ask for a better mother. Despite the challenges our family has faced – my mother has been our Rock.
She’s always found ways to keep us in school, takes the time to take care of us and at the same time balances an 8-to-5 job. The biggest proof I have of my mother’s constant love is when she supported my decision to have a son without placing any judgment at all.
And now, early in April, we were told of a devastating news that she has Stage 3 breast cancer. My immediate thought was how to help her. I am too young to be able to contribute financially, but I can still do something about my mother’s condition.
Through this crowdfunding app, I am appealing to your generous hearts to help raise funds for her medical and hospital bills. Even before getting chemotherapy, she has already spent Php100,000 for laboratory test, citiscans, and biopsy procedures. We’re grateful for her HMO, but it is not enough to cover for all hospital and medical bills.
She has to undergo chemotherapy six times and each time costs P75,000 – that’s not even including hospital bills, other medications, and doctor’s fees. Add in another P30,000, that means we need Php100,000 for every treatment. I have heard her consult with doctors and friends asking where she can get funding from local government agencies and similar programs such as PCSO, DSWD for patients who need financial assistance.
I hope to raise around US$10,000 (or Php500,000) to defray her medical bills. If you can spare a bit of time to tell your friends about our situation by sharing this link, our family will be most grateful.

Most of all, we value your prayers. Please pray for her fast recovery and for strength in her mind and body as the chemotherapy is taking a toll on her physical well being.
#Update
Through the last 6 months, we’ve watched our Mom carry this burden of worrying about us kids more than she worries about her health. I admired how she is able to make us children not lack for anything. Our birthdays are celebrated, we go on out-of-town trips for family bonding, and last Christmas has been memorable.
After Mom completed the first 6 chemo sessions, she was told that she had to continue with 12 more sessions to make sure the aggressive cancer cells (HER2) will be totally “treated” . Her HMO will only cover around 4 sessions. She has also gone around to ask for financial assistance from government agencies and charities.
Despite that, we still need to raise around P300,000 for her to complete the remaining sessions plus the cost of laboratory tests and doctor’s fees. This is my way of helping to lift the financial burden a bit. May we appeal to interested donors and help my family?
