Campaign Story
I don't know how many times I have stopped myself from doing it, as I'm ashamed of asking for help again. You have to help me during my mother's darkest days while we are fighting against her cancer and, I promised myself to work hard, earn more from my real-life job and youtube so I won't be asking for help again. But sometimes, life just hits you with problems you can't comprehend that left you thinking why is this happening to me? Why am I facing big problems over and over again?
It's like whenever I work hard and save more, we ended having someone in the family extremely sick. Don't get me wrong, I still feel blessed that I have something saved to use for my family and emergency purposes but this right now is kinda big. You may asked, why are you on a financial crisis squad leader? Youtube does give you earnings, right? And you have a real job which is what? Okay, let me tell you about my life for a while. I am the only child in our family and I am not ashamed to be born poor since my father works hard as a refrigeration and airconditioning technician just to give our daily needs and just to give me a college degree. I graduated as an industrial engineer and somehow landed a job in a fruit export company but it did not last since my salary isn't enough and I don't have money saved up. It's like I was just working for my daily needs and I needed more so I can give something to my mother and father. Then I ended in a telecommunication company but decided to quit for 2 years because of health problems. Now I'm back, and that's my real job along with doing youtube. I decided to make youtube videos because it's fun and I like video editing and love gaming then fell in love with warframe. The money I earn from my job goes to bills, insurance, health care, and other needs for my family. While the money from youtube is saved up for our daily expenses and savings in case of emergencies. All is well, until last August 29. My father got diagnosed with a hernia and gall stone, and we immediately proceeded to his operation. Thankfully, the operation was successful and we went home on September 1. At home, we notice that he was sweating and we just thought it's because of the weather but upon checking, his temperature was 39 point 4 degrees celsius. We just gave him some home remedies and his fever did begin to get better. But 2 days after, he developed a flu-like symptom, then he suddenly said that he has difficulty breathing.
We then rushed him to the near hospital last September 5, and had him checked as an out-patient only because the public hospital was full. However, the doctor suggested to us that he should be admitted due to low oxygen levels in the blood and high fever. The diagnosis was pneumonia, high risk with hypoxemia, and was a suspect of covid 19. My father said that he is against being admitted again, and we will just go home and he will take the medicines that the doctors prescribed as we can't afford to be hospitalized again. My wife and I insisted that he needs to be hospitalized but he gave us a condition if for 2 days his fever and dry cough will not be gone, then he will agree to be admitted. Before we can even get to 2 days of recovery, the hospital called us saying that the result is positive and my father was taken to the hospital by ambulance. The only document I have right now to prove to you that I am saying the truth is this going home instruction from September 5 where we decided to have my father checked at the nearest outpatient hospital.
Right now, my wife is the only one attending to my father in the hospital and I left with my kids at home because we have been suggested for home quarantine for 14 days as we have direct contact from a covid patient. And just this morning, my wife texted that my father needs to be rushed to the isolated I C U unit because his condition got worst.
My father is fighting for his life right now and I'm sorry if I need to do this, but I'm begging for your medical assistant again. I'm very worried for my father right now after seeing his situation from the pictures sent by my wife via Facebook messenger.
I'm on my knees right now asking for your help. My family still has to deal with everyday expenses and very soon a ton of medical bills. Your donation would help us just concentrate on praying for my father to get better and come home to us and not worrying about money to make it through this very difficult time.
