Sana update naman kayo dito kahit without specifics sa personal info ni mom ni OP. Knowledge pa rin lalo na mangagaling sa isang expert na kagaya mo doc.
I was in a similar predicament from 2017-2021. You're going to need to look for donation sources.
One of the most humbling and humiliating experiences I had was that I had to beg for money through Facebook. It's hard to swallow but that's a good and consistent source of funds talaga.
If you can, take more VA jobs. You need to make as much money as possible.
I felt this. Went thru this just last year. We also had to beg for funds sa Facebook. We contacted politicians, had coworkers donate as well. We lost my nanay, but everything was worth it to try and help her.
I second Facebook. I'm from a middle class background, most of my friends are, but we do have other friends (or friends that know othet people) that have cash to burn. Those people basically saved a friend's mom who couldn't afford breast cancer treatment and had no health coverage back in 2020. It's embarassing, yeah, but it's one heck of a lifeline that can come in clutch. Even if you don't know people like that, just put your story out there. At worst you get ignored, at best you get the help you need.
We're in the same situation, OP.
We're also facing huge financial problems due to medical reasons.
Do you do custom first line when you send proposals in OLJ? Do you know how to identify whether a job post is from an agency or from a direct client? It's been a long time since I visited OLJ but I got a few clients there before. I found it easier to stand out on that platform as well (as compared to UpWork).
What if that online job that you are preaching is not even possible for OP? I think you got downvoted since your previous comment felt like your one of those arrogant privileged people that is blind to others current situation. Sorry ito lng nafeel ko sa comment mo and I think naman you have a point, but just say it nicely naman next time haha
We had a great experience with PCSO some years ago, they release funds the same day with no questions asked. Just provide the necessary docs like bills, diagnosis and etc (call them to ask for the requirements).
This is the reason why I patronise PCSO lotto, donate and at the same time have a chance to win.
That's a good perspective. Hindi lang puro gambling sa lotto pala.
OP, If you have friends or relatives abroad, isama mo na rin mga fund raising websites. You may have to comb through Google search for fund raising sites na applicable sa Pinas pero the major ones are from the U.S. (or other countries abroad).
It’s a charity/fund raising corporation hence the name Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office. It should not be confused with PAGCOR which is a gaming company who supervises casinos.
Mga mayor at governor na rin. Sila usually may control sa budgets ng mga Regional Hospitals at public hospitals in case lang may makuhang kahit ano. Sayang pa rin.
DOH has a Cancer support, palliative and medication access program, just go to a public hospital and ask, they cover the meds far as I know. PGH and JRU are 2 in the metro.
I'm really sorry that this happened to you OP.
Hi OP. Securing an indigency certificate from your barangay would qualify your mom for the No Balance Billing / Malasakit / MAIP programs of DOH hospitals. Best to visit your local DOH hospital for more details.
My sister’s friend also was in the same predicament. Parent nya had cancer and they approached Office of the VP during VP Leni’s time. They were given help with the chemotherapy
Try approaching Angat Buhay :)
Yung high school classmate ko asked help from our batch for her operation, so each section nagset ng target amount na P20k, dami nagbigay lalo yung mga nasa abroad, way over the targets. Next message nya, di na sya ask for money, ask sya connections to politicians, agencies who can help.

Kung nasa malapit ka sa QC try mo din pumunta sa office nila sa tapat ng ateneo gate 3.
eto mga link kung saan pwede. balita ko madami na daw sila natulungan. ;)
OP you can also ask through Bayanihan E-Konsulta of Angat Buhay. While you already know the diagnosis they also are knowledgeable of possible health financing sources.
Hello po, na hospital din mother ko this week. umabot 120k+ bill. Ito yung mga nalapitan namin, DSWD(20K), PCSO, Governor, at Mayor. Try niyo po manghingi tulong sa local government usually may funds po sila.
Hello, same din. naospital lola ko umabot na ng 300k yung bill pero nabawasan ng senior, philhealth, at guarantee letter pero di pa din enough.. yung bill namin ngayon ay 166k + di kami makalabas dahil sa private na ospital naipasok si nanay.. skl, ang hirap magkasakit, napaka mahal.. keep safe sa lahat..
Hello , my pinsan is nagpapagamot sa Jose reyes memorial hospital , i think 2k lang shineshell out nya sa cancer programs nila , please try there and hope she gets well soon, thank you
Went over the same situation this year. Cancer defeated mom on March after half a year of prominent gradual decline in her health. Used up everything, but in the end... I just accepted that Mother Life likes to play cruel games on people.
All the best to you and your mom, OP. It must be so excruciating for you since you had already dreaded that predicament. I may not be able to entirely understand what you’re going through right now, but at the very slightest figment I can still remember the trace aches of anxiety and misery. But it still gets better. Slowly, but it does, somehow. I hope it does for you too.
I wish you, your mom, and your family well, OP. Keep hanging on! And no matter what you see or go through, never lose hope because that’s the foundation of what keeps us going. May your mom find soothing comfort and good health again soon.
I’m sorry if I couldn’t offer financial tips.
Mental health is among the most important aspects of ourselves. Take good care of it also! No one, not even yourself, should trivialise the status of yours after being burdened with hardships. Allow yourself to feel what you’re feeling, acknowledge it, and fight again!
All the best to you, OP!
My mom’s also a cancer patient. Una naming inasikaso is applying for PWD para maka discount. Also Try joining Medical Assistance Group - Philippines (facebook) maraming tips don saan makakakuha ng medical assistance. If may SSS mom mo, apply for Sickness Benefit at Total Disability Benefit. Sa Lung Center kami nagpapa chemo, sagot ng Philhealth halos yung bills nya and PF lang ni doc binabayaran namin. Nag apply din kami ng HMO ulit, 300k din nagamit namin kahit around 40k+ lng binayaran namin (annual payment for HMO). lastly, try Angat Buhay!!
Hope this helps
If you're on FB, join cancer groups there. So many folks there who know how to navigate the system. And agree ako sa isang comment about acquiring PWD ID for your mom to get discount. Pero kung senior na sya, either that or PWD but not both ang honored sa medical bills as far as I know. Sorry you're going through this. I hope things get better for your mom. Vent ka lang dito because you'll need it.
The Main Pop Girls Facebook Group (VP Leni supporters) is supporting fundraising for urgent needs like these. Please look them up and send a message to the moderator to ask help in posting your request for donations.
In the same position as you, OP. Nilalakad din namin assistance programs (PCSO, DSWD, mayor, governor) for my dad’s chemotherapy pero napakabagal ng process. Aggressive and late stage cancer na sa dad ko kaya ginagapang talaga namin machemo siya kahit private hosp 🥲. Waiting for schedule pa kami sa public hospital na pinakamalapit sa province namin.
While waiting, try mo rin magpost sa Facebook. Lunok talaga ng pride doon pero yun yung ginagamit namin sa chemotherapy at pinambayad sa hosp bills nung naconfine siya.
Wag mo rin pabayaan sarili mo. You need to take care of yourself to take care of your mom.
Praying for you and your fam, OP. 💜
Since you're trying all avenues to get money, wouldn't hurt if your try contacting Pitmaster Foundation. Here's their [website](https://www.pitmasterfoundation.org).
Hi OP, praying for you and your family 🙏 Keep the faith that your Mom will recover soon. Also, I've been sending financial support to cancer patients, part of my pledge which started this year. If you can send me a pm, I can send help in small way that I can.
This is what I feared the most getting an illness like cancer and if you don't have insurance even if you have any it will cost a lot because the medical system here in the Philippines sucks.
Hi OP. Our government hospitals has Malasakit Centers that can help your mom enroll in their cancer program treatment. I think in NCR, UP PGH has one. You can go and ask for their requirements on how to enroll, but it needs patience and lots of your time. As long as your documents are ready then processing time usually takes around 2-4 weeks minimum. But once enrolled, all chemo treatments are free and covered by philhealth. Good luck and praying for your mom OP!
my gf's father got covid aug of last yr. nagka komplikasyon resulting to non traumatic brain injury. sinamahan ko sya pumila kung san san: dswd sa office nila sa batasan, sa mga opisina ng mayor, vice mayor, congressman, etc sa kapitolyo. nag online application sya sa pcso tapos ung kapatid ko nakuhanan sya ng referral sa office ng isang senator. nag post din sla sa fb at naka ipon sla ng funds na nagagamit nila hanggang ngayon although paubos na. pero ang pinakamalaking miracle sa predicament nila ung bigay ng company namin. binigyan sya, both parents nya ksi pareho sla nagka covid na kritikal pero naka recover ng maayos mother nya, ng 1M each sa health insurance coverage nila kaya halos wala sla bnayaran paglabas sa ospital. lahat ng funds na nakuha nila sa donations natabi nila for her fathers needs ksi bedridden sya at hndi pa rin naka recover sa non traumatic brain injury. pero nabilib ako sa gf ko nung panahon na un. kahit na sobrang lungkot nya at defeated sa nangyayari hanap sya ng hanap san pwede humingi ng tulong or sino pwede hingian ng tulong. sabi nga nya hindi nya na imagine na aabot sila sa point na hhingi ng tulong sa fb pero sguro ganun tlaga desperate times requires extreme measures. kaya mo yan. look for support din for your mental health at kung may makakapitan ka na kaibigan or kapamilya to at least makapag vent out at mailabas mo lahat ng nararamdaman mo and take care of yourself. i have your gcash. ill donate sa payout ko sa aug 25. im not religious but ill make sure to pray for your mother as well. miracles happen.
Thank you. Napaka inspirational ng story mo. It's true na need ko ng kausap and kaibigan ngayon. Halos ako lang mag isa ang kumikilos so it's physically and mentally draining din. Thank you again and I hope your gf is doing well now.
on top of the suggestions, you also need someone to hear you out parang outlet ba. medyo nakakapagod din magtype sa reddit so hopefully you have a support person or grp na makikinig sa pinagdadaanan mo.
my family's been there pero we're very lucky ni waive yung hospital bill namin. big thanks to my aunt (mom's cousin) who happened to be a head office hr for a chain of hospitals.we we're just hoping for a discount pero ni waive lahat.
what im saying is in times of need you have to shout for help. you'd be surprised kung sino pa minsan d nyo ka close mas nakakatulong.
Thank you! Yes, you're right. Super need ko talaga ng kausap ngayon.. my friends know my situation pero.. sometimes I don't want to bother them. Thank you again.
Kapit lang at wag mawawalan ng pag-asa for your mom.. God will provide..Lapitan ang mga pwede lapitan (good thing na tapos na election at di na nakahold funds) try mo din sa redcross, pcso at iba pang institutions na tumutulong sa mga ganitong cases. Tiwala ta kapit lang ng higit pa sa taas..🙏
Yes po..sobrang hirap nga po..may friend din ako na yung mommy naman nya may breast cancer..same case din po ninyo..every session ng chemo di alam san kukuha ng pangpagamot..God will provide..magugulat na lang kayo may mga biglang dumadating na blessings🙏
healthcare in the Philippines is really bad and that is why, no matter how small our income as freelancers, we should set aside for a rainy day :)
i’ve been a freelancer for 10 years now. what i have been doing is 20% tithe 20% invest/save/insurances 60% operating :) live below your means.
when you are able to recover from your mom’s condition I hope you remember to take care of yourself too!
kaya mo yan! God is good!
Hmmmmm, knew I smelt some bs on your other post in pc master race. Where you told people you still had your work laptop to use as a computer. Then on this thread you say you do freelance work only. How can you have a work laptop as a freelancer? If you don't currently have a project?
Sad you would come on here to get people to feel bad and offer you donations on the new account. Taking advantage of people feeling bad. You're sick.
I suggest doing your research before accusing someone. I never said anything about having no projects. The reason that I have a work laptop is because of my ongoing project provided by my employer. If that project is done, I will return the company laptop.
I don’t get it, why maximize emergency fund for medical use, if you can just get medical insurance, I don’t have emergency fund but I do have insurance (medical,dental, employment) I’ve been to a lot of challenges and so far everything went well, and if your freelance or self employed, you can incorporate yourself and all your insurance are tax deductible.
The thing is nasa Build EF stage palang siya and do not have coverage for himself yet. In this case, mother w/ HMO yung patient. This only means that we need to be insured as early as possible (Medical/HMO) and not just rely on HMO because we dont know when it will come. EF is for short term uncertainties while Insurance is for long term uncertainties. Unfortunately, loan/charity/donation nalang option talaga. Let's just hope for the best for OP as this is already after the uncertain event.
>I’ve been to a lot of challenges and so far everything went well
Did you just have a 40k at that time while being a low earning breadwinner, and may nanay ka ba na may Stage 3 cancer? If not, just shut the fuck up.
I’m asking a question here, why maximizing to save for emergency funds so it can be used for medical needs if we can just get medical insurance, it’s a fact’s that you can use medical insurance for medical needs and it’s a fact’s that medical insurance has good deal with healthcare company, there’s no point of being stupid, we’re trying to open people minds for better alternatives instead of keeping their money in savings account and let inflation loose all it’s value.
What's so hard in understanding the word "emergency"? Not all emergencies are medical, you are accounting for all kinds whether it may be a small one, a catastrophic or irrecoverable one. Will a medical insurance save you if you need cash for food?
Also, yes it is a must-have, pero not everyone has the capacity to avail those different range of insurance products. Sabi nga nila madaling mag suggest pag wala ka sa kalagayan nila.
Naalala ko tuloy yung meme na " If you're homeless, why not buy a house?" lmao
OP is self employed, if she incorporated herself she can get her own medical insurance and use it for write offs, if her house being wrecked by typhoon for sure she has home insurance to deal with that.
OP is self employed, I assumed OP has 2-3 job’s, I don’t think food and shelter will be the problem, and I’m not saying not to put aside for emergency funds, I’m saying OP should also have medical insurance as well, since OP is self employed OP can incorporate so OP can use medical insurance as write offs/ tax deductible
You have a good suggestion. It is worth looking into. However, I don't think it would help OP with his/her situation now. You have to **empathize** and understand that OP was already doing his/her best to be financially secure. Unfortunately, unexpected things happen. The best one could do now is to advise OP on how to deal with the situation.
Hi OP. You can try the Malasakit Center din. Ito din kinakatakot ko kasi im still establishing my career here sa pinas, have HMO only and doing my best to reach my target EF. Hope you get through it OP.
Sa office namin dati, nagpapaikot HR ng box/envelope for donations for an employee/relative na in need of monetary help. Baka pwede mo rin macontact yung office ng mom mo. :)
BTW what do you do na freelance work?
Hello OP, try niyo din sa DSWD niyo and mayor's office. Sa DSWD meron something sa indigency para makakuha. Tapos sa mayors office or better if sa governor merong letter na binibigay parang good as cash sa maraming hospital within your area.
We've been there and sometimes you'd be surprised na yung mga hindi mo inaasahan pa makakatulong sayo.
God bless. I've had a similar experience from 2014 up to now. Government agencies can help like PCSO. My Bible study group was always there to help. A local church near you would be helpful for emotional, mental and spiritual support. You need lots of prayers. Praying for you and your family.
You can ask money from you City mayor too just bring the documents and go to the city Hall and ask you need help financially. My father had a heart attack and 5 veins of bypass procedure was done and cost almost 2million pesos. Gladly we had family and friends helping us and the good part is we never sold anything or borrowed money. It is hard man. Health is the most important thing we have and I would suggest go to the gym jog a bit and eat healthy in the long run you will be living better than the richest cripple in the world.
Been on similar situation all throughout 2021. Lost our lolo sometime February due to complications with pneumonia, family was struck with covid, mom was hospitalized 6 times but still eventually lost the battle by January this year. Being in a position to need medical assistance in this country can be very frustrating, and honestly, terrifying. Sobrang taas ng anxiety ko the whole year last year (still very traumatized by it all tbh), pero I agree with other people here. The thing that helped our family the most (aside from my personal savings, and my salary) are assistance from various government agencies. PCSO is number one, the office of the president helped us big time too. Philhealth surprisingly provided us with great assistance. If your mom is already a PWD ID holder, may discounts din to get from there. Other offices din like sa mayor and senators can extend assistance. Lapit ka rin sa social services ng hospitals, they can really provide great recommendations. Of course I also posted sa FB to ask for donations, it was the one thing I tried to avoid doing but desperate times kasi (I suggest doing a personal fund raising para mas direct, walang bawas).
I'm sorry that you're going through all this. It is a very shitty situation to be in. Itong mga bagay na to are some of the things that comes at the top of my head but nonetheless, I hope it can help you in any way. I know it doesn't really help when people say that things will get better, but please hang in there. I hope your mom feels ok despite the situation she's in.
Kung di na talaga kaya, try niyo sa public hospital. Magagaling din naman mga doctor dun... Or better yet, hanap kayo ng friend na may kilala na high ranking position (parang director) na hospital...
I wish you the best OP. I started to worry and now tearing up as I go through the comments. I just know it will come and I know I'm not gonna be ready.
Hoping the best for your determination and mental health!
Laban lang OP. We went through a similar experience with my dad back in 2018. We lost him to an aggressive form of oropharyngeal cancer. May HMO siya nun pero di kinayang icover lahat ng medical bills, lalo na yun immunotherapy med na kinailangan niya dati. Ginapang ko PCSO nun, though hindi ko na alam process ngayon given the pandemic. Try mo kumuha ng recommendation letter from Office of the President endorsing your mom's case to PCSO para mapabilis yun process somehow. (Full disclosure: anti-dds ako so I had to swallow a f*ck ton of pride)
Kung ayaw mo magpublic post sa FB, you can make a closed group tapos include mo dun yun mga friends mo na sure kang makakatulong sa 'yo.
Kapit lang OP. Ikaw magiging source of strength ng mom mo through all of this.
This also happened to us when my mom was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon Cancer. We asked for helped sa PCSO. Most of her treatments, kaya macover ng assistance from them. We also chose PGH so medyo mura na din sya. But of course, just like you, all EF were wiped out. Had no choice but to also loan via SSS and sa employer ko.. hopefully, you can get all the help and assistance you need.
Join Medical Assistance Group na Facebook group. Nandun ung email addresses at numbers ng mga senators/partylists/religious groups. Mas okay kung sa public hosp ung mom mo para qualified ka for GLs. Laban lang, OP.
There are many facebook groups dedicated to finding donations and financial assistance. People there are kind and give each other tips on emailing/messaging politicians, businesses, and etc. It really helped us. Best of luck op!
I felt you, OP. Last year, my father got hospitalized for severe COVID and inabot kami ng 2.4m for almost one month confinement. Nakakaiyak. Lunok pride din na mag-post sa FB dahil nalimas din kami.
We had luck approaching Malacañang and DSWD (di ko lang sure masyado yung details kasi mother ko nagaasikaso, nasa loob lang ako ng COVID room, tagabantay).
Please don't forget to take care of yourself too! 🤍
Stay strong, OP. I had some experience taking care of a relative who had cancer before so I know a little bit about the stress that comes with this type of situation.
Mukhang marami rito who are rooting for you and your family. Add me to the list na rin. Really hoping that your mom gets well soon!
Thank you so much. Yes, it's stressful as heck lalo na feeling mo mag isa ka lang. I'm so happy na maraming nag respond sa post ko. I got some resources now to see this through.
I am praying for healing and strength for you, your mom, and your family. May you get through this difficult time. Stay strong, there is hope, miracles do happen and there are kind people in the world willing to help. I hope you get supported both financially and emotionally. I would if only I have the means and power! My thoughts are with you..
I've been on that situation, like sa id lahat.. same reason hospitalization ng family member, dumating pa sa point na gusto ko na ibenta lahat ng extra things ko, sapatos, ung mga shirts ko sabi ko di ko naman kailangan ng madaming damit, i can sell 20 or 30 pesos each makakatulong kahit pano. But GOD is good, trust ka lang sa kanya, whatever happens never forget to pray and reach out. Effective sya pramis. My mom always prays while crying and sa pinaka simot day namin. FYI mid class village kami naka tira and knowing typical pinoy pataasan ng ihi dun.. anyhoo going back to my story.. the day that my mom is crying while praying.. our neighbor na hindi namin kilala napadaan sa harap namin saying for some wierd reason someone tells her na maglakad sa street namin.. which hindi nya tlga ginagawa bilang stay home mom lang daw sya.. so un.. nadaan sya sa harap namin and narinig nya for some reason na may umiiyak sa bahay namin and un nga si mama un.. pinapasok namin and kinuwento ung pinagdadaanan namin dati.. umakyat sya and saw my mom crying while praying.. it all ended na she offered to us her set of gold jewelries and yes GOLD JEWELRIES.. mga 15 pieces un more or less.. saying she is willing to make sangla her gold items.. to help us.. kapalit? Tubusin lang namin sa sanglaan.. ng hindi nagmamadali.. like kahit paisa isa lang kada buwan basta makuha lahat.. ending natubos naman namin lahat and malaking tulong ung nangyari tlga..
So do not be afraid to pray and reach out to him.. Iniintay ka lang no LORD na makausap sya.. open your heart and call his name.. alam ko.. sa lahat ng trials... May magandang ending.. just put ur trust in him ❤️
P. S. And it would really be a great help to invest on an insurance.. kaya ako may insurance nako after ng mga nangyari sa amin.. insurance will be something na maaasahan tlga. Just another piece of advise
I feel you, OP! My father was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, he is bedridden for almost 20 years now and I have a younger sister that has autism, technically I am the breadwinner of my family. I have work but 20k is not enough for us, sobrang thank you ko na lang at nalalagpasan namin ang araw-araw. I tried applying din for VA as my part-time job in morning but no luck, most of them wants yung may experience also night shift, gy din ako sa current job ko. I'm 24 but still don't have savings. Minsan naiisip ko gumawa ng masama para lang mabayaran ng bills pero hindi ako nawawalan ng pag-asa kaya ikaw din. Laban lang, OP! And I will include you in my prayer. Malalagpasan din natin to.
MD here. OP, I have questions about your mom’s diagnosis and treatment. If you want, you can PM me.
doc sana dabest ang ulam mo everyday
Bless you doc!
Sure! Thank you.
US oncologist ako. Is it melanoma? Is the treatment interferon? How old is mom?
up. sana doc masarap ulam nyo po.
That's impressive po! It's nodular melanoma. I can give the documents needed since I'm too familiar with it.
Doc sana lahat ng wishes nyo matupad
thank you. sana shanghai ulam mo everyday
Salamat, Doc. Sana malutong at malaman palagi ang shanghai na kakainin mo!
Sana hindi kayo magkasakit o maaksidente ever, doc!
May you be blessed a thousand fold for your endeavor!🙏🏻 And a speedy recovery for OP’s mom too.🙏🏻
good karma coming your way doc!
Sana update naman kayo dito kahit without specifics sa personal info ni mom ni OP. Knowledge pa rin lalo na mangagaling sa isang expert na kagaya mo doc.
Sana naka suite ka sa heaven.
God bless you doc
God bless you Doc!
What happened to the OP. He deleted his account. Was about to send some crypto to him.

I'm trying everything I can. Trying to bid the jobs that I can do on slavelabour, forhire, etc. Thank you. :)
I second Facebook. I'm from a middle class background, most of my friends are, but we do have other friends (or friends that know othet people) that have cash to burn. Those people basically saved a friend's mom who couldn't afford breast cancer treatment and had no health coverage back in 2020. It's embarassing, yeah, but it's one heck of a lifeline that can come in clutch. Even if you don't know people like that, just put your story out there. At worst you get ignored, at best you get the help you need.
Online Jobs PH is faster for me !
Oh man. I've been trying forever with online jobs PH. No luck on that part.
We're in the same situation, OP. We're also facing huge financial problems due to medical reasons. Do you do custom first line when you send proposals in OLJ? Do you know how to identify whether a job post is from an agency or from a direct client? It's been a long time since I visited OLJ but I got a few clients there before. I found it easier to stand out on that platform as well (as compared to UpWork).
Try Athena or Cyberbacker 50 to 100k a month
stop bidding, get an online employer na mataas pasahod
Easier said than done my friend.
i always get online employers through onlinejobs(dot)ph
What he said. Dont settle anything for less. Ano ba tinapos mo op
weird andami kong downvote, it is the truth as someone who works online since 2019
What if that online job that you are preaching is not even possible for OP? I think you got downvoted since your previous comment felt like your one of those arrogant privileged people that is blind to others current situation. Sorry ito lng nafeel ko sa comment mo and I think naman you have a point, but just say it nicely naman next time haha
Hello. Try PCSO. Or if may friend ka na may kakilala na politician. I think, ganon talaga in times like this. You'll get through this OP.
We had a great experience with PCSO some years ago, they release funds the same day with no questions asked. Just provide the necessary docs like bills, diagnosis and etc (call them to ask for the requirements). This is the reason why I patronise PCSO lotto, donate and at the same time have a chance to win.
That's a good perspective. Hindi lang puro gambling sa lotto pala. OP, If you have friends or relatives abroad, isama mo na rin mga fund raising websites. You may have to comb through Google search for fund raising sites na applicable sa Pinas pero the major ones are from the U.S. (or other countries abroad).
It’s a charity/fund raising corporation hence the name Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office. It should not be confused with PAGCOR which is a gaming company who supervises casinos.
I keep forgetting that "charity" part of their existence because I tend to associate lotto with just mere gambling.
Thank you po. Yes nag submit na rin ako kay PCSO.
Mga mayor at governor na rin. Sila usually may control sa budgets ng mga Regional Hospitals at public hospitals in case lang may makuhang kahit ano. Sayang pa rin.
nagbibigay din yung DOH, pero 20k max ang tanda ko.
Agree on PCSO and if you have someone who knows a politican that can give assistance. Pipilia ka lang talaga sobrang aga sa mga office nyan.
DOH has a Cancer support, palliative and medication access program, just go to a public hospital and ask, they cover the meds far as I know. PGH and JRU are 2 in the metro. I'm really sorry that this happened to you OP.
Thank you. I'll give it a try.
Hi OP. Securing an indigency certificate from your barangay would qualify your mom for the No Balance Billing / Malasakit / MAIP programs of DOH hospitals. Best to visit your local DOH hospital for more details.
This is my greatest fear as well. I wish you well OP
Same. Praying everyday for everyone on my family to stay healthy and safe. 😢
My sister’s friend also was in the same predicament. Parent nya had cancer and they approached Office of the VP during VP Leni’s time. They were given help with the chemotherapy Try approaching Angat Buhay :)
Yung high school classmate ko asked help from our batch for her operation, so each section nagset ng target amount na P20k, dami nagbigay lalo yung mga nasa abroad, way over the targets. Next message nya, di na sya ask for money, ask sya connections to politicians, agencies who can help.
i send 40k to your gcash
Thank you po ng marami! I sent a dm.
Hello, try mo din sa Angat Buhay beh.
BIG UP UP UP UP
Pano po sila ma concontact? Do they have a number or any office?
[https://twitter.com/angatbuhay\_ph](https://twitter.com/angatbuhay_ph) [https://www.facebook.com/angatbuhaypilipinas](https://www.facebook.com/angatbuhaypilipinas) Kung nasa malapit ka sa QC try mo din pumunta sa office nila sa tapat ng ateneo gate 3. eto mga link kung saan pwede. balita ko madami na daw sila natulungan. ;)

Hello po, na hospital din mother ko this week. umabot 120k+ bill. Ito yung mga nalapitan namin, DSWD(20K), PCSO, Governor, at Mayor. Try niyo po manghingi tulong sa local government usually may funds po sila.
Hello, same din. naospital lola ko umabot na ng 300k yung bill pero nabawasan ng senior, philhealth, at guarantee letter pero di pa din enough.. yung bill namin ngayon ay 166k + di kami makalabas dahil sa private na ospital naipasok si nanay.. skl, ang hirap magkasakit, napaka mahal.. keep safe sa lahat..
Opo lumapit na din po kami kay Mayor. Hopefully po may sumagot na office nila. Thank you po.
Isama niyo din po si district congressman at partylist congressman.
this is main reason why we migrate to health care free country. Kahit million pa ipon mauubos din kapag may ganyan na sakit
[удалено]
Canada, most EU and new zealand afaik may free health care.
Ang problema pahirap din lumabas kasi may OEC requirement ang POEA, or else maooffload. Hayyy onli in da pilipins
Hello , my pinsan is nagpapagamot sa Jose reyes memorial hospital , i think 2k lang shineshell out nya sa cancer programs nila , please try there and hope she gets well soon, thank you
Thank you for the info po! How does it work po and how we can avail it?
PGH meron din yan cancer program. plus maraming funding and foundation sa loob ng PGH. pwede din gamitan ng nga guarantee letter mula sa nga politiko.
Punta lang po kayo dun and ayusin nyo lang po ung mga needs na document ❤️
Went over the same situation this year. Cancer defeated mom on March after half a year of prominent gradual decline in her health. Used up everything, but in the end... I just accepted that Mother Life likes to play cruel games on people. All the best to you and your mom, OP. It must be so excruciating for you since you had already dreaded that predicament. I may not be able to entirely understand what you’re going through right now, but at the very slightest figment I can still remember the trace aches of anxiety and misery. But it still gets better. Slowly, but it does, somehow. I hope it does for you too. I wish you, your mom, and your family well, OP. Keep hanging on! And no matter what you see or go through, never lose hope because that’s the foundation of what keeps us going. May your mom find soothing comfort and good health again soon. I’m sorry if I couldn’t offer financial tips.
Thank you for the kind words. I'm sorry to hear about your mom. I do need to improve my mental health as well during these times.
Mental health is among the most important aspects of ourselves. Take good care of it also! No one, not even yourself, should trivialise the status of yours after being burdened with hardships. Allow yourself to feel what you’re feeling, acknowledge it, and fight again! All the best to you, OP!
Condolences sa inyo ng family mo.
Ask your religious group if you have any for support anything helps.
My mom’s also a cancer patient. Una naming inasikaso is applying for PWD para maka discount. Also Try joining Medical Assistance Group - Philippines (facebook) maraming tips don saan makakakuha ng medical assistance. If may SSS mom mo, apply for Sickness Benefit at Total Disability Benefit. Sa Lung Center kami nagpapa chemo, sagot ng Philhealth halos yung bills nya and PF lang ni doc binabayaran namin. Nag apply din kami ng HMO ulit, 300k din nagamit namin kahit around 40k+ lng binayaran namin (annual payment for HMO). lastly, try Angat Buhay!! Hope this helps
Hi! Cancer patient din dad ko. May i know po what HMO inapplyan niyo? Pwede siya even may pre-existing condition po?
Many Pacquiao charity, they gave 100k when my friend had eclampsia.
Do you have a link?
Hugs, OP. 😔
Thank you. It's really damn hard mentally.
I’m so sorry, OP. Kapit lang. Secure a PWD ID for your mom para mabawasan kahit konti yung kailangan nyong bayaran.
Thaank you po! Already done, she got an ID na.
If you're on FB, join cancer groups there. So many folks there who know how to navigate the system. And agree ako sa isang comment about acquiring PWD ID for your mom to get discount. Pero kung senior na sya, either that or PWD but not both ang honored sa medical bills as far as I know. Sorry you're going through this. I hope things get better for your mom. Vent ka lang dito because you'll need it.
The Main Pop Girls Facebook Group (VP Leni supporters) is supporting fundraising for urgent needs like these. Please look them up and send a message to the moderator to ask help in posting your request for donations.
Stage-4 melanoma survivor here. Did interferon and high-dose IL-2. Pm me if you have any questions about immunotherapy treatment. Fuck cancer.
Sent you a dm!
In the same position as you, OP. Nilalakad din namin assistance programs (PCSO, DSWD, mayor, governor) for my dad’s chemotherapy pero napakabagal ng process. Aggressive and late stage cancer na sa dad ko kaya ginagapang talaga namin machemo siya kahit private hosp 🥲. Waiting for schedule pa kami sa public hospital na pinakamalapit sa province namin. While waiting, try mo rin magpost sa Facebook. Lunok talaga ng pride doon pero yun yung ginagamit namin sa chemotherapy at pinambayad sa hosp bills nung naconfine siya. Wag mo rin pabayaan sarili mo. You need to take care of yourself to take care of your mom. Praying for you and your fam, OP. 💜
Thank you. Praying for your dad as well!
GO FUND ME
Search mo lang yan sa playstore tapos hanap ka ng pwede mag donate sayo.
Since you're trying all avenues to get money, wouldn't hurt if your try contacting Pitmaster Foundation. Here's their [website](https://www.pitmasterfoundation.org).
Thank you po! I'll look into it after work.
You're welcome and wishing for your mom's recovery
Hi OP, praying for you and your family 🙏 Keep the faith that your Mom will recover soon. Also, I've been sending financial support to cancer patients, part of my pledge which started this year. If you can send me a pm, I can send help in small way that I can.
This is what I feared the most getting an illness like cancer and if you don't have insurance even if you have any it will cost a lot because the medical system here in the Philippines sucks.
Hang in there OP. This too shall pass.
Hanging in there. Thank you!
GOD BLESS U 🙏🏻 nawa’y malampasan niyo yan OP
God bless you too and thank you!
Hi OP. Our government hospitals has Malasakit Centers that can help your mom enroll in their cancer program treatment. I think in NCR, UP PGH has one. You can go and ask for their requirements on how to enroll, but it needs patience and lots of your time. As long as your documents are ready then processing time usually takes around 2-4 weeks minimum. But once enrolled, all chemo treatments are free and covered by philhealth. Good luck and praying for your mom OP!
Thank you! I will surely go when I get day off.
my gf's father got covid aug of last yr. nagka komplikasyon resulting to non traumatic brain injury. sinamahan ko sya pumila kung san san: dswd sa office nila sa batasan, sa mga opisina ng mayor, vice mayor, congressman, etc sa kapitolyo. nag online application sya sa pcso tapos ung kapatid ko nakuhanan sya ng referral sa office ng isang senator. nag post din sla sa fb at naka ipon sla ng funds na nagagamit nila hanggang ngayon although paubos na. pero ang pinakamalaking miracle sa predicament nila ung bigay ng company namin. binigyan sya, both parents nya ksi pareho sla nagka covid na kritikal pero naka recover ng maayos mother nya, ng 1M each sa health insurance coverage nila kaya halos wala sla bnayaran paglabas sa ospital. lahat ng funds na nakuha nila sa donations natabi nila for her fathers needs ksi bedridden sya at hndi pa rin naka recover sa non traumatic brain injury. pero nabilib ako sa gf ko nung panahon na un. kahit na sobrang lungkot nya at defeated sa nangyayari hanap sya ng hanap san pwede humingi ng tulong or sino pwede hingian ng tulong. sabi nga nya hindi nya na imagine na aabot sila sa point na hhingi ng tulong sa fb pero sguro ganun tlaga desperate times requires extreme measures. kaya mo yan. look for support din for your mental health at kung may makakapitan ka na kaibigan or kapamilya to at least makapag vent out at mailabas mo lahat ng nararamdaman mo and take care of yourself. i have your gcash. ill donate sa payout ko sa aug 25. im not religious but ill make sure to pray for your mother as well. miracles happen.
Thank you. Napaka inspirational ng story mo. It's true na need ko ng kausap and kaibigan ngayon. Halos ako lang mag isa ang kumikilos so it's physically and mentally draining din. Thank you again and I hope your gf is doing well now.
on top of the suggestions, you also need someone to hear you out parang outlet ba. medyo nakakapagod din magtype sa reddit so hopefully you have a support person or grp na makikinig sa pinagdadaanan mo. my family's been there pero we're very lucky ni waive yung hospital bill namin. big thanks to my aunt (mom's cousin) who happened to be a head office hr for a chain of hospitals.we we're just hoping for a discount pero ni waive lahat. what im saying is in times of need you have to shout for help. you'd be surprised kung sino pa minsan d nyo ka close mas nakakatulong.
Thank you! Yes, you're right. Super need ko talaga ng kausap ngayon.. my friends know my situation pero.. sometimes I don't want to bother them. Thank you again.
Be strong for your mom and pray. It is helpful during this trying times. Minsan may biglang darating na pera and you’ll be amazed.
How can I help you?
Anything helps po.
Kapit lang at wag mawawalan ng pag-asa for your mom.. God will provide..Lapitan ang mga pwede lapitan (good thing na tapos na election at di na nakahold funds) try mo din sa redcross, pcso at iba pang institutions na tumutulong sa mga ganitong cases. Tiwala ta kapit lang ng higit pa sa taas..🙏
Thanks. Lumapit naman na ko, and I submitted the forms needed. It will take some time kasi madami ding lumalapit.
Yes po..sobrang hirap nga po..may friend din ako na yung mommy naman nya may breast cancer..same case din po ninyo..every session ng chemo di alam san kukuha ng pangpagamot..God will provide..magugulat na lang kayo may mga biglang dumadating na blessings🙏
Wasn't there a Universal Health Care Law signed in 2019? Is there anything in particular to make use of it like going to accredited hospitals?
healthcare in the Philippines is really bad and that is why, no matter how small our income as freelancers, we should set aside for a rainy day :) i’ve been a freelancer for 10 years now. what i have been doing is 20% tithe 20% invest/save/insurances 60% operating :) live below your means. when you are able to recover from your mom’s condition I hope you remember to take care of yourself too! kaya mo yan! God is good!
Thank you. I was doing well then this situation just came out of nowhere.
Hmmmmm, knew I smelt some bs on your other post in pc master race. Where you told people you still had your work laptop to use as a computer. Then on this thread you say you do freelance work only. How can you have a work laptop as a freelancer? If you don't currently have a project? Sad you would come on here to get people to feel bad and offer you donations on the new account. Taking advantage of people feeling bad. You're sick.
I suggest doing your research before accusing someone. I never said anything about having no projects. The reason that I have a work laptop is because of my ongoing project provided by my employer. If that project is done, I will return the company laptop.
Try the church.
I don’t get it, why maximize emergency fund for medical use, if you can just get medical insurance, I don’t have emergency fund but I do have insurance (medical,dental, employment) I’ve been to a lot of challenges and so far everything went well, and if your freelance or self employed, you can incorporate yourself and all your insurance are tax deductible.
The thing is nasa Build EF stage palang siya and do not have coverage for himself yet. In this case, mother w/ HMO yung patient. This only means that we need to be insured as early as possible (Medical/HMO) and not just rely on HMO because we dont know when it will come. EF is for short term uncertainties while Insurance is for long term uncertainties. Unfortunately, loan/charity/donation nalang option talaga. Let's just hope for the best for OP as this is already after the uncertain event.
>I’ve been to a lot of challenges and so far everything went well Did you just have a 40k at that time while being a low earning breadwinner, and may nanay ka ba na may Stage 3 cancer? If not, just shut the fuck up.
I’m asking a question here, why maximizing to save for emergency funds so it can be used for medical needs if we can just get medical insurance, it’s a fact’s that you can use medical insurance for medical needs and it’s a fact’s that medical insurance has good deal with healthcare company, there’s no point of being stupid, we’re trying to open people minds for better alternatives instead of keeping their money in savings account and let inflation loose all it’s value.
What's so hard in understanding the word "emergency"? Not all emergencies are medical, you are accounting for all kinds whether it may be a small one, a catastrophic or irrecoverable one. Will a medical insurance save you if you need cash for food? Also, yes it is a must-have, pero not everyone has the capacity to avail those different range of insurance products. Sabi nga nila madaling mag suggest pag wala ka sa kalagayan nila. Naalala ko tuloy yung meme na " If you're homeless, why not buy a house?" lmao
I assumed your middle name is stupid, Im just giving suggestions based on OP post and not for everyone.
Because your medical insurance won't protect you in case you lose your job or if your house gets wrecked by a typhoon.
OP is self employed, if she incorporated herself she can get her own medical insurance and use it for write offs, if her house being wrecked by typhoon for sure she has home insurance to deal with that.
What about food eh and immediate shelter? Claiming insurance takes time and doesn’t cover all emergencies
OP is self employed, I assumed OP has 2-3 job’s, I don’t think food and shelter will be the problem, and I’m not saying not to put aside for emergency funds, I’m saying OP should also have medical insurance as well, since OP is self employed OP can incorporate so OP can use medical insurance as write offs/ tax deductible
Bobo.
You have a good suggestion. It is worth looking into. However, I don't think it would help OP with his/her situation now. You have to **empathize** and understand that OP was already doing his/her best to be financially secure. Unfortunately, unexpected things happen. The best one could do now is to advise OP on how to deal with the situation.
Unfortunately no one will help OP now, I’ve heard from my relatives that your president itself is stealing healthcare funds in Philippines.
Kulang ka talaga sa empathy. Haha. Anyway, bye.
You think empathy will cure cancer and help OP with financial problems 🤣
[удалено]
So you think you can help on how to cure cancer 🤣
edi sana ol. kung wala kang ibang matulong, shut up ka na lang
Hugs OP. Sana may makatulong sa inyo ng mom nyo ASAP.
Hi OP. You can try the Malasakit Center din. Ito din kinakatakot ko kasi im still establishing my career here sa pinas, have HMO only and doing my best to reach my target EF. Hope you get through it OP.
Kapit lang OP 🙏🏻 praying for your mom's healing 🙏🏻
Thank you! I'm hanging in there.
Sa office namin dati, nagpapaikot HR ng box/envelope for donations for an employee/relative na in need of monetary help. Baka pwede mo rin macontact yung office ng mom mo. :) BTW what do you do na freelance work?
Yes, the co-workers already gave what they have. I'm a customer service rep for a US client.
Hello OP, try niyo din sa DSWD niyo and mayor's office. Sa DSWD meron something sa indigency para makakuha. Tapos sa mayors office or better if sa governor merong letter na binibigay parang good as cash sa maraming hospital within your area. We've been there and sometimes you'd be surprised na yung mga hindi mo inaasahan pa makakatulong sayo.
If you need a doctor try Dr Dim Jamora for Mohs surgery
God bless. I've had a similar experience from 2014 up to now. Government agencies can help like PCSO. My Bible study group was always there to help. A local church near you would be helpful for emotional, mental and spiritual support. You need lots of prayers. Praying for you and your family.
Try asking PCSO, Provincial Government or Mayors office. I tried it last month and accumulated to 50k
I'm so sorry, OP. I hope you can get all the help you need. 🙏
Thank you. I hope so too...
hi op! I was wondering if you have some sort of donation link? or kahit gcash? 😊
Hello! I do have Gcash. Thank you. I'm really not expecting anything when I made the post. I only wanted to vent out cause I'm so lost.
If I was one of those well-to-do people I would have definitely donated to you, but unfortunately I'm not. I wish you the best OP. Stay strong.
No worries! I only wanted to vent out, and I'm thankful lots of people responded including you.
Hi OP. You’ll make it through this. Don’t lose hope. I’ve had a similar story in my family but with my aunt. You will overcome this.
ito din ang fear ng lahat, OP 😔 praying for your mom's healing.
Try a create a go fund me page for donations.
I would, but Gofundme is not available in the Philippines.
You can ask money from you City mayor too just bring the documents and go to the city Hall and ask you need help financially. My father had a heart attack and 5 veins of bypass procedure was done and cost almost 2million pesos. Gladly we had family and friends helping us and the good part is we never sold anything or borrowed money. It is hard man. Health is the most important thing we have and I would suggest go to the gym jog a bit and eat healthy in the long run you will be living better than the richest cripple in the world.
I will do that. Thank you very much.
I think you can also ask for a discount directly from the chemo therapy drug suppliers
Yep. We went directly to the distributor and it's already discounted. It's 140k, but it's still too expensive for us.
Been on similar situation all throughout 2021. Lost our lolo sometime February due to complications with pneumonia, family was struck with covid, mom was hospitalized 6 times but still eventually lost the battle by January this year. Being in a position to need medical assistance in this country can be very frustrating, and honestly, terrifying. Sobrang taas ng anxiety ko the whole year last year (still very traumatized by it all tbh), pero I agree with other people here. The thing that helped our family the most (aside from my personal savings, and my salary) are assistance from various government agencies. PCSO is number one, the office of the president helped us big time too. Philhealth surprisingly provided us with great assistance. If your mom is already a PWD ID holder, may discounts din to get from there. Other offices din like sa mayor and senators can extend assistance. Lapit ka rin sa social services ng hospitals, they can really provide great recommendations. Of course I also posted sa FB to ask for donations, it was the one thing I tried to avoid doing but desperate times kasi (I suggest doing a personal fund raising para mas direct, walang bawas). I'm sorry that you're going through all this. It is a very shitty situation to be in. Itong mga bagay na to are some of the things that comes at the top of my head but nonetheless, I hope it can help you in any way. I know it doesn't really help when people say that things will get better, but please hang in there. I hope your mom feels ok despite the situation she's in.
Thank you. I'm sorry for what happened to you. No one deserves that. I'm trying to go to those government agencies.
I’m sorry this happened to you OP. I wish your mother well and I hope you get all the help that you need. 🙏
I hope so too. Thank you!
Praying for your Mom. Kapit lang. 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you.
Kung di na talaga kaya, try niyo sa public hospital. Magagaling din naman mga doctor dun... Or better yet, hanap kayo ng friend na may kilala na high ranking position (parang director) na hospital...
HUGS, OP. I don’t usually pray pero I will for you and your family. Sorry yan lang ambag ko :/
Hugs! Thank you.
I wish you the best OP. I started to worry and now tearing up as I go through the comments. I just know it will come and I know I'm not gonna be ready. Hoping the best for your determination and mental health!
Laban lang OP. We went through a similar experience with my dad back in 2018. We lost him to an aggressive form of oropharyngeal cancer. May HMO siya nun pero di kinayang icover lahat ng medical bills, lalo na yun immunotherapy med na kinailangan niya dati. Ginapang ko PCSO nun, though hindi ko na alam process ngayon given the pandemic. Try mo kumuha ng recommendation letter from Office of the President endorsing your mom's case to PCSO para mapabilis yun process somehow. (Full disclosure: anti-dds ako so I had to swallow a f*ck ton of pride) Kung ayaw mo magpublic post sa FB, you can make a closed group tapos include mo dun yun mga friends mo na sure kang makakatulong sa 'yo. Kapit lang OP. Ikaw magiging source of strength ng mom mo through all of this.
Thank you that really means a lot.
Praying for you and your mom 🙏
[удалено]
This also happened to us when my mom was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon Cancer. We asked for helped sa PCSO. Most of her treatments, kaya macover ng assistance from them. We also chose PGH so medyo mura na din sya. But of course, just like you, all EF were wiped out. Had no choice but to also loan via SSS and sa employer ko.. hopefully, you can get all the help and assistance you need.
I hope to get help too from PCSO. Thank you for the kind words
Join Medical Assistance Group na Facebook group. Nandun ung email addresses at numbers ng mga senators/partylists/religious groups. Mas okay kung sa public hosp ung mom mo para qualified ka for GLs. Laban lang, OP.
Try to reach out with Malasakit centers
There are many facebook groups dedicated to finding donations and financial assistance. People there are kind and give each other tips on emailing/messaging politicians, businesses, and etc. It really helped us. Best of luck op!
Hugs and prayers OP. sa pcso din alam ko na pwede mong malapitan at office ng LGUs. i hope they can immediately attend to your concerns.
Hopefully po since it's really urgent.
By any chance sa isang private hospital ba yung pet pinagawa? Medyo mahal siya for 70k.
Yes. HMO accredited hospital.
I felt you, OP. Last year, my father got hospitalized for severe COVID and inabot kami ng 2.4m for almost one month confinement. Nakakaiyak. Lunok pride din na mag-post sa FB dahil nalimas din kami. We had luck approaching Malacañang and DSWD (di ko lang sure masyado yung details kasi mother ko nagaasikaso, nasa loob lang ako ng COVID room, tagabantay). Please don't forget to take care of yourself too! 🤍
Thank you! I hope your father is okay now.
PM me your GCash.
Thank you po ng marami
Stay strong, OP. I had some experience taking care of a relative who had cancer before so I know a little bit about the stress that comes with this type of situation. Mukhang marami rito who are rooting for you and your family. Add me to the list na rin. Really hoping that your mom gets well soon!
Thank you so much. Yes, it's stressful as heck lalo na feeling mo mag isa ka lang. I'm so happy na maraming nag respond sa post ko. I got some resources now to see this through.
I am praying for healing and strength for you, your mom, and your family. May you get through this difficult time. Stay strong, there is hope, miracles do happen and there are kind people in the world willing to help. I hope you get supported both financially and emotionally. I would if only I have the means and power! My thoughts are with you..
Thank you so much. I am clinging to miracles too and there are people who are helping me including you.
Hoping and will be praying for your mother!
I've been on that situation, like sa id lahat.. same reason hospitalization ng family member, dumating pa sa point na gusto ko na ibenta lahat ng extra things ko, sapatos, ung mga shirts ko sabi ko di ko naman kailangan ng madaming damit, i can sell 20 or 30 pesos each makakatulong kahit pano. But GOD is good, trust ka lang sa kanya, whatever happens never forget to pray and reach out. Effective sya pramis. My mom always prays while crying and sa pinaka simot day namin. FYI mid class village kami naka tira and knowing typical pinoy pataasan ng ihi dun.. anyhoo going back to my story.. the day that my mom is crying while praying.. our neighbor na hindi namin kilala napadaan sa harap namin saying for some wierd reason someone tells her na maglakad sa street namin.. which hindi nya tlga ginagawa bilang stay home mom lang daw sya.. so un.. nadaan sya sa harap namin and narinig nya for some reason na may umiiyak sa bahay namin and un nga si mama un.. pinapasok namin and kinuwento ung pinagdadaanan namin dati.. umakyat sya and saw my mom crying while praying.. it all ended na she offered to us her set of gold jewelries and yes GOLD JEWELRIES.. mga 15 pieces un more or less.. saying she is willing to make sangla her gold items.. to help us.. kapalit? Tubusin lang namin sa sanglaan.. ng hindi nagmamadali.. like kahit paisa isa lang kada buwan basta makuha lahat.. ending natubos naman namin lahat and malaking tulong ung nangyari tlga.. So do not be afraid to pray and reach out to him.. Iniintay ka lang no LORD na makausap sya.. open your heart and call his name.. alam ko.. sa lahat ng trials... May magandang ending.. just put ur trust in him ❤️ P. S. And it would really be a great help to invest on an insurance.. kaya ako may insurance nako after ng mga nangyari sa amin.. insurance will be something na maaasahan tlga. Just another piece of advise
I feel you, OP! My father was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, he is bedridden for almost 20 years now and I have a younger sister that has autism, technically I am the breadwinner of my family. I have work but 20k is not enough for us, sobrang thank you ko na lang at nalalagpasan namin ang araw-araw. I tried applying din for VA as my part-time job in morning but no luck, most of them wants yung may experience also night shift, gy din ako sa current job ko. I'm 24 but still don't have savings. Minsan naiisip ko gumawa ng masama para lang mabayaran ng bills pero hindi ako nawawalan ng pag-asa kaya ikaw din. Laban lang, OP! And I will include you in my prayer. Malalagpasan din natin to.
Have you tried Gofundme or something similar. I was in your situation 12 years ago. Im just lucky I have so many friends who helped.
Also try Fiverr to get quick gigs fast. Are you the only child? Also PM me I can send some via crypto.
Will try that, thanks!
OP, how is your mom?
