It's been six months since we were discharged from the hospital and it's almost a year from the time of the incident ( June 28, 2019 ). I know this might not be the best time to reach out for help because there are also a lot of people who need help because of the Covid-19 Situation. For the past six months we were able to sustain my dad's medical expenses because of the insurance funds as well as the donations we got from each and everyone of you. However, my family is in dire need of your help once more. We are at an average, spending Php 140,000 ($2800) for my Dad (Caretakers, Medicines, Food Medical Supplies ).

As much as I have a good and stable job, combined with my family's income, our combined income simply isn't enough to sustain my dad's needs.

We are about to let go of our caregivers / nurses by the end of this month and will bring down our monthly expenses to roughly PhP 90,000 ($1800) but we will still be short on funding. My brother and my mom will be taking over the nurses' job because we simply cannot afford them anymore. The family is trying its best to obtain additional income through various means to make ends meet.

For those who might be asking , my dad is not on mechanical ventilators. Thankfully, he is able to breathe on his own and his vital signs are stable. There were some complications but they were manageable by additional medicines. I havent been spending time inside my dad's room because I am the one who goes out to buy medicines and food items and I wouldnt want to accidentally bring in any virus. My dad still opens his eyes from time to time. We're not sure though if he really is conscious already or not . Whether he comprehends the things happening around him, we do not know. We're hopeful that he does, or he will soon enough.

To be completely honest I was very hesitant to restart this campaign because there has been A LOT of people who gave us support since last year and I wouldnt want to come across as someone who just relies on this to provide for my dad but I am swallowing my pride , as the eldest child and am reaching out to you once again for help.

For those who have given us donations before, the only help I can ask from you is simply sharing my campaign once more. To reach more audiences than we were able to reach before. I am forever indebted to those who supported us financially and I really feel that it would be too much to ask for help from the same set of people again. Im not expecting too much from this round of the campaign again but I'm trying my luck.. Just in case..

After all , I know my dad did as much as he can while we were growing up, so might as well do the same for him to keep him healthy.

Thank you and Keep Safe! Stay Healthy!
