Campaign Story
We are starting a fundraiser for our 7-month old son, Gestalt Lucis L. Abrena, to help for his treatment of Kawasaki's Disease.
KD is a condition in which blood vessels all throughout the body start to get inflamed. The cause for this is unknown, and the disease is not spread from people to people. On children, it may lead to coronary artery aneurysms, in which case their coronary artery (a blood vessel in the heart) becomes inflamed and dilated, leading to fatalities.
Our son falls under the age bracket of those who can be affected by complications of KD, and he is currently undergoing treatment in order to combat this. He needs to have medicine, IVIG (intravenous immunogobulin) which costs around PHP9,000 to PHP15,000, and he needs 18 grams (or 7.2 vials of 2.5 grams each) of this said medicine, on top of all the hospital fees.
As we would want Lucis' procedures to not cut corners and cause delay, we decided to hold a fundraiser to cover his medical fees. Our current HMO providers cannot cover it at the moment, due to technicalities for dependent coverage. We would like to let him undergo all the possible treatments, as we would not want anything to happen to our precious child.
We cannot give anything in return, but please, we humbly ask for any amount of assistance possible.
In case you don't have a PayPal account, you may also opt to send via our accounts:

- Metrobank: Beverly Lopez 4023 4023 8494 9
- BDO: Beverly Lopez 4630 2194 74
Lucis' mother, Bevie, and I will be extremely grateful for your help in letting our kid live happier by the time this ordeal has been done. Please do donate in any amount you wish. We will personally extend our deepest thanks once we receive any amount from you. We will also be starting other fundraisers for children's diseases in the future, to pay forward all the help we would be receiving.
Please help us provide Gestalt with a future he deserves to be in.

Gestalt Survives KD!
Update posted by John Abrena at 07:30 amWe would like to thank you for ALL your support. Prayers, good vibes, financial aids--every little bit helped! Nakadugtong po kayo sa buhay ng anak namin, and we cannot replace that with anything. Uulitin ko lang po, for emphasis: you ALL helped SAVE the life of our son.It's overwhelming. One. . . . .
IVIG Treatment for Gestalt Begins
Update posted by John Abrena at 03:39 amToday, Gestalt will receive his IVIG treatment. IVIG, or intravenous immunogobulin, is the medicine needed to treat Gestalt's inflamed arteries. This is the most critical step in his healing. The medicine should not be given too early nor too late during his illness. Given too early, we may risk failure. . . . .
2D Echo Test for Gestalt Today
Update posted by John Abrena at 01:33 amGestalt will be undergoing his 2D Echocardiography test this day. 2D Echo will be scanning his heart, check the status of each tissue and artery to know if KD progressed this far. We will know the results as soon as possible, and we will be posting it here. Please pray. . . . .
Thank you for the support!
