On Dec 14, 2020, we were blessed with the birth of RJay. We were so happy with our early Christmas present. I can truly say that parenting has become the most challenging, yet rewarding “job” to have and we would do anything for our baby. Which leads us to you…

RJay, needs your help… shortly after 2 weeks of life, he was diagnosed with Ventricular Septal Defect. This is a condition where a small hole in the baby’s heart prevents blood to flow properly thus increasing breathing rate. Although his current symptom is only the increased breathing, our pediatric cardiologist advised open heart surgery to ensure his survival. There are several instances with children being born with VSD can carry on a normal life, and the over their early stages of life then hole shrinks. However this is not the case with RJay. The shunt that would close the heart is not in anatomical alignment, making surgery imperative. Surgery would also help limit the risk of him experiencing heart failure symptoms, which could lead to more serious problems for the rest of his body organs. The procedure, which can be scheduled once he weighs 10KG or when he turns one, cost approximately $20,000 USD (1 million PHP). We have researched financial support from the government, however we do not meet the income requirements. So we kindly ask of you, friends, family, strangers, any amount you are able to donate for the operation, we would be forever indebted of your generosity. Thank you for giving his little heart a strong chance at a healthy and long life ahead.

March 2021, we were told that we were not eligible for charity because they were only catering to closed heart surgeries because of the pandemic. We were given hope in July 2021 when we were told that they are finally opening slots for open heart surgery. We were lucky to. . . . .

Not Eligible

Update posted by Rodelyn Go at 05:03 pm

Today, we found out that we are not eligible from the only charity foundation who could have helped us. They can only assist patients whose condition can be fixed with cardiac catheterization (closed surgery). Our Rjay's condition needs more than that. He needs to have open heart surgery, as advised. . . . .

Baby Rjay was diagnosed at Perpetual Succor Hospital (a private hospital) in Cebu City. The pedia resident of the hospital told us to prepare for at least 1M pesos. We wanted to try applying for charity. However, only the indigents can avail of charity services, so we did not go. . . . .
