Campaign Story
Hello friends,
I have a dear friend, Marivi Pagalaran Magistrado, that miraculously I reconnected with a few months ago after 27 years. I was an LDS missionary in the Philippines and to my surprise I found her and she had moved to Arizona last year and is here on a working visa teaching special education kids in a school about 35 minutes away from me. She is alone here in the USA, away from her family, working so she can better provide for them back home.
She just received a breast cancer diagnosis and will need to have surgery. She'll be unable to work while she recovers but the greatest cost will be all of the medical bills that are already starting to come in. It would be amazing if we could raise money to help her and relieve the heavy burden that she is feeling.
For any contribution that you would like to give, please click on the "Donate Now" link.
Thank you wholeheartedly for your support, your generosity and your love.
