Brain Aneurysm Surgery

$12,511 donated

Help raise funds for the Colipano family. They are going through a tough time, with their father in hospital after having a brain aneurysm.

Waikato

We, friends of Colipano family here in the Waikato, are raising funds to help the family with their current financial situation.

Jesus Colipano arrived in New Zealand on June 21st, 2018 to visit his children Dines, Michael and Mejoy. On Sunday, Jesus, complained of feeling unwell and collapsed on the floor. Rushed to Waikato Hospital, he was diagnosed of haemorrhagic stroke from a ruptured aneurysm. He has since undergone two surgical procedures to coil the aneurysm and to relieve pressure from his brain. Being non-New Zealander, the hospital bills are to be fully paid by the family.

This is already a trying time for the family as their father is still in a critical condition. The added burden of having to source out funds for the mounting hospital bills is weighing the family further down. We, friends of the family, have fundraised amongst us but we are only a small group of Filipinos. Hence we decided to create this page to appeal to you for any financial help you will be able to extend.

We are a close family friend of the Colipano's and we are wanting to help and support them in this time of need.

Use of funds

The full amount will be given to the Colipano family. This will be spent on the medical expenses from the two surgical procedures Jesus has undergone, and his time spent under the hospitals care.
