Maesey’s Medical Fund

UPDATE (8-4-2017)

We are suspending this fundraising campaign following a positive development about Maesey's health.

Doctors said she no longer has to undergo the operation, at least for now. She underwent biopsy *again*, because doctors said the cyst on her neck has hardened. Results show the inflammation is actually tuberculosis on lymph nodes which can be cured by medication. The doctors prescribed her medicines that she needs to take for six months. But if the inflammation does not go away after she finishes her medicines, the cyst *might* still need to be surgically removed from her neck.

Maesey initially wanted to return your donations. But we advised her not to, because she will still have to take medicines in the next six months. And that will also cost her much. She will be using the donations for the medications.

And we hope and pray for her complete healing so she no longer has to undergo the operation.

Thank you so much for your help! God bless your kind hearts, and may your generosity bring you every good thing you've been praying for in leaps and bounds.

Below are images of the result of her biopsy, the doctor's prescription, and other related documents.

INITIAL POST (7-27-2017):

She remains positive and jolly while she fights the good fight.

Our friend, Maesey, needs your help.

It started with a swollen lymph node on her neck. And now, doctors say it has to be operated on. Maesey has been diagnosed to have Branchial Cleft Cyst Type 3. Doctors say the cyst has to be removed because a) it's getting bigger; 2) it's located near her spinal chord (which makes things quite more complex).

We're grateful it isn't the big C. Nonetheless, she still needs to heal. And the cyst has to be removed before it develops into something else.

Her operation alone costs Php 100,000. Prior to that, she has to undergo an ultrasound scan that costs Php10,000. P110,000 for the procedures required *for now* -- excluding her medications that cost more than what she earns a day.

Her medical expenses are mounting. Maesey is a first-born. She is the breadwinner of her family.

We are raising money for her operation -- and other medical procedures and medications that she need. We're knocking on your hearts. Any little amount will be a huge help.

You can also send your donation straight to her Security Bank account.
