DAY 15 (Saturday): We are nearly halfway through our fundraising goal—our hearts are bursting with joy and gratitude! ❤️ Maraming salamat po sa mga nag-donate at sa mga magdo-donate pa. It’s always a difficult decision to have to ask for financial help from others when we’re supposed to be the ones to provide for our families. But, sometimes, it can be more than we can handle. (Total bill as of today, June 8, is Php856,163.66.) Thank you for helping us bear that burden.

Thank you as well to Sonia’s medical team—the doctors, nurses, and nursing aides—who continue to watch over her (even though she can be cranky at times).

PEG INSERTION: It looks like she finally agreed to have a PEG (feeding tube) inserted into her tummy. The procedure is happening on Monday morning. It’s a simple procedure and, if there are no complications, she can probably be sent home by June 12th.
