Allow hope and light to continue on by helping and being part of Joann's journey on overcoming the difficulties of her condition. She has a very rare condition called MARFAN SYNDROME. It is a genetic disorder of the connective tissue.The degree to which people are affected varies.

However, in Joann's case, it is severe. She has SEVERE SCOLIOSIS which needs surgery and a RHEUMATIC HEART DISEASE and MITRAL VALVE PROLAPSE at such a tender age. She is also born with NON-INTACT LENSES SO SHE CAN ONLY SEE PARTIALLY. She also has a NARROW PALATE which contributes in her difficulty in breathing as it narrows also her sinus.

This is how severe her scoliosis is:


The doctor said, if left untreated, her lungs and heart will collapse. Joann is currently 11 years old turning 12 on June 4. She is nearing her growth spurt as she enters puberty. When this happens, her spine will curve even more and will result in the collapse of her heart and lungs.

Despite all of this, Joann remains to be the vibrant, strong, and cheeky young girl that she is. She is a real fighter. She brings light to the whole family. Allow me to share with you my experience as I accompanied her one time in the hospital with her tests: I cannot help but feel awe as I watch her calmly undergo a whole tedious process of procedures such as 2D echo, ECG, ultrasound, treadmill stress test, etc. All in one day.She even managed to strike a peace sign while undergoing a whole abdomen ultrasound.


She is a very strong girl. She is beautiful both inside and out. May the Lord and her angels continue to guide her and be with her everyday.

She is currently undergoing a lot of treatment and needs help in funding to alleviate her condition.

She needs funds in her medicines for her heart condition as well as for her spine jacket and eventually for her spine surgery. She also needs assistance in her eye surgery as well as the bracing of her palate and dental needs.

We have hope. And We believe that love and compassion is stronger than anything else in the world.

Kindly send Joann hope and light by helping us raise 120,000 PHP for her medical needs. If we can raise more to help cover medications and caregiving expenses, it would be a tremendous blessing. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts!

  • Thank you so much for everyone’s prayers and love for our dear Joann. We are very grateful to all those who have reached out and lent us not only their hands but also their hearts to her (and to us) on her journey. My heart soars with great joy to know that there are still people who are full of love and compassion amidst the challenging environment that we are in. War here and there, etc. (People we don’t even personally know!) You’re the real heroes of this time! :) Because of all of your help, including and especially your prayers, Joann is now able to settle the balance in the hospital and we are now currently saving funds for her new spine jacket and dental needs. She needs a new spine jacket to delay the curving of her already severe spine due to scoliosis. She also needs dental braces so that her narrow palate will widen up a little bit and gradually (also) widen her sinus to unclog; to enable her to breathe properly. (May the Lord, continue to guide us and be with us!) :) With this, we thank you so much for also being with us as Joann takes her first profound steps in this journey. May you continue to be with us as we are being blessed with more trials to strengthen us in this endeavor.
