Hi, I am Maria Kristina Gaba, 29 years old. I have a husband and two sons, ages 8 and 6.

November of 2016, I suddenly felt numbness with my left foot and pain on my waist. After that, 22nd of December when I woke up, I wasn't able to stand because of my left foot. I felt like I had a stroke by that time. Since then, I've been bed ridden.

I was admitted to Amang Rodriguez Hospital from January 2 to 14 and was advised to undergo lumbosacral x-ray and there was a compression fracture with l4-l5 seen. After which, I had undergone MRI as well.

I decided to look for a second opinion so we went to an Orthopedic in Banawe. I've been there since Feb. 3 until March 11 and there I was diagnosed with TB of the Bone.

I am bedridden for 6 months now. I can't stand due to severe pain on my waist and shaking foot.

I am scheduled to undergo surgery but we're still in the process of saving funds to cover up the whole amount.

I sincerely ask for any financial assistance because there is an urgency with my operation. Any amount would be of great help for me and my family. God bless you all.

(A letter from Kristina Lumanas to her batch mates from OLOPSC.)

Hi everyone si kristina lumanas ito formerly batchmate niyo ako sa olopsc year 2004. Kaya pala ako gumawa ng letter na ito para mapabatid ko yung nangyayari sa conditon ko po na diagnosed ako na may TB of the bone o tinatawag na potts disease. Actually 7 months nq bedridden po since december 22, 2016. May dalawa akong batang anak na lalaki isang 8 at 6 may asawa na rin ako. Kaso ngayon eh kumplikado yung sitwasyon between sa asawa ko at magulang ko kaya hindi ko siya kasama dito sa bhay namen ang kasama ko lang dito yung bunso kong anak na 6 years old. Siya lang yung nagaackaso sa akin dito sa bahay nmn. Nagtutulong kami mgina. Sa totoo lang batchmate kung makikita niyo sitwasyon ko naawa na ako sa anak ko bunso dahil sa murang edad niya naging obligasyon na ako ng anak ko na dapat ako ngaackaso sa kanya.. Nagpacheck up ako sa doctor ko nung last june 20, 2017 nkita na sa result na malaki na ang bacteria o nana na nakakapit sa lumbar ko n kinakain n yung mga buto ko kaya sa kadahilanan n hirap nq mkatayo at makaupo apektado na ang kaliwa kong paa Sinabi pa ni Dr.Ong na kelangan bago mg 6 months eh kelangan ko na mag undergo ng operasyon dahil bka kumalat na ang bacteria sa ibng part ng katawan ko at my tendency na maari mamatay ang kalahating katawan ko n mgiging paralize ako. Mamatay na yung nerve ko dun sa daluyan ng ihi at dumi n maari icatheter na lang at ihihiwain yung sa tiyan ko sa my mlapit sa bituka ko para dun nq dudumi Sa totoo lang nung sinabe sa akin ng dr ko un eh nagiiyak na lang ako dahil ayoko mangyri sa buhay ko un. Magkakaedad lang tau. 29 lng ako, may mga bata akong anak at ang dami ko pa pangarap sa buhay ko kasama anak ko. Batchmate kaya ko gumwa na sulat na ito para matulungan niyo ako sa condition ko na ito. Na maoperahan ako sa lalong madaling panahon dahil ayoko naman sapitin n mamatay yung kalahating katawan ko. Masakit bilang nanay na mkita ko anak ko n bata pa, n siya ang nagackaso sa akin pasenxha na sa inyo kung ako kay nkalapit sa inyo. Ginagawa ko to para sa mga taong umaasa sa lakas at kakayanan ko – ang aking pamilya, ang aking mga anak. Maraming Salamat sa inyong taos sa pusong pagtulong sa akin. Nawa’y biyayaan p kau ng maykapal.
