Please Help Us Take Care of Our Mom


Hello, everyone.

My name is Edison. I'm running this campaign on behalf of my mom, who's unfortunately been in a coma for about 4 months now as of this writing.

Her name is Amor.

She's got a big heart and a big appetite.

She loves beancakes and bananas.

And we love her with all our heart. I love her with all my heart. If I could give her half my life? I would. If she asked me for all of it? I'd grumble. I joke. But, if she asked? If there was a way? I'd do it. So would my Dad. Who absolutely adores her.

My Mom and my Dad are jokers. They also flirt and tease each other. It's honestly cute to me. I love my parents.

Around 2021? She went into the ER and was diagnosed with a meningioma, a kind of brain tumor. The doctors took it, and everything went well. Afterwards, radiation was recommended (the surgeons couldn't get all the tumor because of the sensitivity of the area) and, well, from there? We thought we were finally on our road of recovery!

That was a challenging experience too, but in hindsight not like the one we're face with now.

Around June, 15 months after radiation? My Mom started feeling some of her old symptoms back. Turns out her tumor might be going through necrosis and is causing nearby brain tissue to swell. Our doctor gave us steroids to deal with it, and like magic, with just one pill? It felt like all our problems went away. All of July it felt like everything was back to normal.

That ended in August.

She suffered a lot of complications after getting a UTI, which trigger an avalanche of problems from complications with her diabetes to blood infection. Her old symptoms came slowly and then she fell down the stairs. And then she was bed-ridden for a week at our home. We thought we just needed time and took care of her from her room.

But then, mid-August, she had a very nasty headache.

We honestly almost lost her.

She fell into a coma. She had one seizure episode in the middle of her hospital stay. And we've been stuck here ever since. My Dad, my uncle, and myself taking turns to watch out for her constantly.

We would like to keep doing that. Until she wakes up.

And I believe she'll wake up. She's opening her eyes more and more each day, though she's still yet to respond purposefully. I believe all we need is time. And hope. And support.

That's where we hope you'll be able to help us. Our medical bill's already reached the 5 millions here, or around 100k usd. At this point, it's actually more like 6, but I'll be eternally grateful just to have the current portion of the bill handled. Currently? Our family's only managed to raise 20k usd. And half of that is on loan.

Please. Help us keep up the fight. I'm on my knees. Dependent on the kindness of strangers. Because we have no intention of leaving this hospital with her still unconcious. My Dad and I would rather ruin ourselves first before we let her go. Please believe in my mother's fighting spirit. My Dad and I are staking our bets on that.

Do me this kindness? And I swear I'll take it as a debt of goodness upon the world. One I intend to returrn manyfold. It might take me forever. But whatever love is shown my mother? I will reflect upon the rest of the world. I swear it. I swear upon God and the lives of everyone I cherish. If the world would be good to my Mom? I swear I will never forget it.

Thank you for reading this. And Merry Christmas.
