UPDATE POSTED, please scroll down for more info
Hi everyone, this is Steff and I am setting up this fundraiser for my Tita Baby, whom most of you know as Grace.
2023 has been a difficult year as it was just this year she was diagnosed with cancer. She has been quietly fighting it all this time and we've been doing what we can to show up for her and support her.
Sadly, her symptoms were aggravated at around the same time her eldest sister passed on. She's been in and out of the hospital and as you can imagine, the medical expenses have been piling up.
So now, we're reaching out to humbly ask for any help and support you can freely give.
Donations for my Tita Baby can be sent here, or directly via GCash to: 09171270565 (John Ojeda)
Thank you very much, and may God bless us all.
UPDATE 30 Nov 2023:
Tita Baby started having back pains thought to be muscular in origin in June 2023. Symptoms persisted and aggravated by bloating during the wake of her eldest sister who passed on because of cancer in July.
A few days after the burial, she was rushed to the ER and found to have ascites. A pigtail drain was placed to relieve her of the fluid. Further tests finally revealed gastric cancer.
She was started on chemotherapy, both IV and oral. After a few weeks with the pigtail drain, the drainage stopped which prompted the doctor to remove it by Nov 15. She started having fever but when chills became severe, she was brought once again to the ER and admitted to the hospital. Tests showed her hemoglobin was very low, and infection was already in the blood. She had a blood transfusion and was started on very strong IV antibiotics to prevent sepsis.
