A Peso to Save Uncle’s Life

Efren Tac-al is a 41 years old. A father of 6 ( 20, 17, 16, 13, 11 and 5 years old.)

Last July 4th, around 12:00 am , without any warning, my uncle went into hypertensive crisis. He was immediately rushed to Chong Hua Hospital to get an immediate aid. At his very first day at ICU we almost lost our hope that he will be healed because there was no sign of any movement and any response from him. This makes us decide to just transfer him to ward however when my father (his eldest brother) and sister went to the hospital to sign a waiver, he called my uncles first name and talked to him then suddenly my uncle started to move and squeezed my father's hand hardly. Because of this we are thinking that my uncle is really fighting hard for him to live. So we just then decided to let him stay at ICU believing that he will continue to fight for his family especially for his children who are depending on him. There is a blood-cloth on his brain that needs to be treated immediately and he needs to take some medicine that cost a total of 20,000 pesos ($400) that will only last for 2 days. The medicine will help in reducing the blood cloth on his brain and to lower down his blood pressure. Also, we need to pay 35,000 pesos ($700) everyday for ICU usage. This is a lot of money that's why I am seeking a lot of ways too in order to help my uncle. This is the only thing I know that can help my cousins and uncle. I know that if they'll lose their father, it will be hard for them as it is only their father and his brother ( a minimum wager - 320pesos - $6/day) who are working to support their everyday needs.

Currently, this is his 9th day of my uncle at Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in Chong Hua Hospital. He continues to fight and we are very happy to see some improvements from him because he can now open his 2 eyes even just for seconds. He can move his body and really doing his best to fight from this life-death situation. We strongly believe that he can really overcome this however we really need your help for his medical needs.

Any amount will surely be a great help and we will be forever thankful for your kindness.
