Hello everyone, just a quick update, my father's operation will be tomorrow. We got 14 people to donate blood so all in all we got 7 bags. Thank you so much! Tomorrow is the big day. Wednesday morning will be the operation. Please pray for my father that the surgery will be successful without any complications. Please also stand by in prayers for our financial assistance. I know God has plans for us. He will finish this amazing journey he gave to us.

Thank you for those who donated. Just a quick update to my update.

We are now searching for other hospitals who can cater his surgery. Thank you Lord because there's a hospital that can do open surgery with much more cheaper price. My dad needs to pass the stress test if he can manage the surgery. Please pray for my Dad and his Stress Test. Continue to #ReadGiveShare and #HelpSaveLife to other people. It is really a big big help to us.

Thank you!

Wow. $705 in just a week. Continue to #ReadGiveShare to your friends and family. I know someday my dad will heal and he'll see this page and be humbled and will give thanks more to the Lord. :D

Wow! Thank you for all the support and love. Currently, Aning is in their loving home cared by his supportive family. As soon as we hit the target we can schedule the open repair surgery that is required to repair the Aortic.

Aning needs to be operated as soon as possible due to severity of his case.. basically it's the bulge in a section of aorta and it can burst anytime, which will cause serious internal bleeding and may lead to a not so good results. This is why he needs to be operated at the soonest possible time...So please help us spread the word. Thank you all for the thoughtfulness.
