Robbie on Recovery

Robbie is your silly, persevering, determined, swimming athlete who has undergone rough times since his varsity ending injury in College. Despite that he continues to be a friendly person graduating from the University of the Philippines with a degree of B.S. Tourism. He has attained these with a pre-existing Seizure Disorder since childhood and a Bipolar Disorder which was not looked into. Supported by his father who recently passed away due to a heart attack he has gone on rough times trying to cope with this tragedy and with his Seizure condition cannot support himself financially.

For the past year he has been moving from Bedspace to Bedspace, for construction workers, looking for stability, lugging around items (memorabilia and personal affects) after being evicted from the former apartment where he and his father stayed. He continues to persevere trying to support himself with whatever work he can find but to no avail because soon after his Seizures or Mood disorder (Bipolar) affects him and his work. In the end he becomes terminated from work because employers are unaware of such conditions and unable to support employees with such. Hes been surviving since his father's dead, sacrificing meals or medicine for his condition. He has lost himself trying to make ends meet looking for help wherever he can. Whenever a Seizure occurs he wakes up disoriented, alone, afraid, unaware what had just happened, surrounded by people - strangers who are also unaware of his conditions giving him judgmental eyes.

Recently, he experienced 6 consecutive seizures due to the lack of resources to support his condition. The Doctor explained that he almost went into Status Epilepticus, a medical emergency due to uncontrolled seizures that almost took his life on Feb 11, 2020. In light of what happened he has decided to go into a Medical Facility that will help him recuperate and have a better understanding of his condition that has always been disregarded as nothing but became a chip on his shoulder. He has no means of sustaining his reformation because his father passed away and he is without a stable source of income. He cannot depend on family because they are afraid or unwilling to welcome someone in their household with such conditions and professional help is needed.

Instead we would like to ask his family, friends, or those with a kind heart to donate to his voluntary reformation into a facility that will nurture him. The road to recovery will take 6 months to 1 year where he wishes to understand his conditions that include the Seizures and Bipolar to live in a productive manner where he can support himself. He hopes to reshape himself into the best person he can be for all of you to see.
