Collections:

Online and offline collection has already amounted to P162,000. On behalf of Jerome, we thank all friends, relatives, colleagues, students and anonymous donors. We have collected enough money to pay his bills so he is now ready to be transferred.

Hospital Transfer:

The remaining hospital bills have been paid the aid of Ms. Jennifer Go. Dr. Vincent and Sir Tim are already working on Jerome's transfer tonight. He is expected to be transferred by midnight to early morning. Please pray for a smooth transfer.

Instead of transferring to PGH, Jerome will be moved to the National Kidney and Transplant Institute (NKTI) in Diliman, Quezon City. After checking other options in terms of facilities, expert opinions and coordination with doctors and hospital staff, we believe NKTI can offer the best care for his condition. The rates are also more reasonable and and the room he will be staying in will be more comfortable.

Relatives:

Some of Jerome's relatives have already visited him and offered a generous contribution for his hospital bills. We hope his other relatives might find time to visit him as well.

Jerome's Health Condition:

Jerome is now able to sleep soundly. His diet remains to be mostly liquified food and some fruits. He is still regaining his appetite.

His skin color has improved and the dark circles around his eyes are no longer visible unlike yesterday. This are good indicators that he is receiving the care he needs.

So generally, his health is continuously improving.

Next Steps:

We are still continously collecting financial contributions to fund Jerome's treatments. We still have yet to find out the nature of his condition and we hope to learn more about this in the next few days.

Some friends and colleagues will also be filing request to PCSO so he might receive additional assistance.

As we wait for his succesful transfer to NKTI, we are also reaching out to friends in Diliman, QC area who may take shifts to accompany Jerome during his hospital stay. So if you would personally like to volunteer, please get in touch with us.

We hope once he has settled and his condition continuous to become more stable, we can start scheduling and welcoming visitors.

We will provide an update again tomorrow.
