Campaign Story
Last 28th April 2017, my dad (Roberto Bermillo) was rushed to Sacred Heart Medical Center in Angeles City Pampanga, PH due to severe chest pain.
He was confined for 4 days at the ICU (Intensive Care Unit) for monitoring until we received the doctor's advise that he needed to go for Angiogram procedure to better check where the chest pain is coming from. His 2D echo test could not suffice to learn his heart condition also. So on 2nd of May 2017, my dad's cardiologist sent an order that we must bring his patient (dad) to another hospital (Philippine Heart Center in Manila) where he would do the Angiogram test. Dad had his angiogram test this 3rd of May 2017.
In that Angiogram, the doctors found out that he immediately need to go through Heart Bypass Surgery. His left and right arteries are mostly clogged and need the bypass operation ASAP to avoid heart strokes. Like you, we also love to save our dad's life so we are humbly asking for some monetary help. My dad's surgery is scheduled this week, around Wednesday 10th May 2017. The hospital is asking us for a downpayment of 550 thousand pesos (more or less 12,000 USD) for this procedure alone.
We thank you in advance for any help you can extend to our family. God bless you all!

Update posted by Marlon Bermillo at 01:49 amAt exactly 7:00am yesterday, dad was sent to the operating room for his heart bypass operation. We were all a bit nervous about the procedure but we had to trust dad's surgeon and his team. I'm sure God is with him, with us, in this difficult situation. We waited patiently. . . . .

Update posted by Marlon Bermillo at 02:19 amJust last night, Dad had a emergency heart attack. He was in so much pain that he could breathe helplessly. He could not bear the pain that he needed another morphine injection. SAD. His operation might be delayed again due to these frequent symptomatic heart attacks. We're still hoping though

Update posted by Marlon Bermillo at 01:58 pmMy dad's doctors have started doing the preparation for his open heart surgery. They were trying to unload some medicines, not much morphine injections if possible for the the preparation of revascularization procedure. Unfortunately for the last 48 hours, he had few symptomatic heart attacks which can also delay the. . . . .
