US$2,870.00Donated So Far
Dear all,
It is with great sadness that we announce that Gabriel just passed this morning after five days fighting to be with her family longer. The original campaign was meant for her ongoing treatment at the Far Eastern University hospital. We are raising funds now to pay for her medical bills and funeral expenses.
Please read the initial description of the campaign below:
We are reaching out to you on behalf of James Galvez, our long-term freelance reporter in Philippines.
James’ 7-year-olddaughter, Gabriel, who is autistic and suffers from epilepsy, is currently in a semi-coma following a seizure. She has been placed in an emergency room set up in Metro Manila hospital parking lot due to the pandemic.
We contacted James this morning and he said Gab, who has thankfully tested negative for Covid, is responding to stimuli little by little and set to be transferred to the ICU sometime today.
James is facing medical costs of over 1 million pesos (USD 20k) based on his bills for the first 2 days of hospitalization and he would greatly appreciate any financial assistance we can provide.
