For Voltaire – Fighting Cancer With Hope and Love

My brother Voltaire is 42, a husband, father, son, and my only sibling. Warm-hearted doesn't begin to cover it. Wherever he goes, he wins people over simply by being himself.

In December 2025, he began experiencing stomach discomfort and weight loss. What we hoped was minor turned out to be ascending colon adenocarcinoma. On March 26, 2026, he underwent major surgery to remove part of his intestine and affected lymph nodes. He is recovering with a strength that surprises no one who knows him.

But the journey isn't over.

His oncologist has prescribed 8 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy to ensure the cancer does not return. The total cost is approximately PHP 475,200 (around NZ$14,000), an enormous amount for our family in the Philippines.

I am Sheena, Voltaire's younger sister, writing this from New Zealand, thousands of miles away, but never far in heart and prayer. Raising funds for his treatment is the most I can do from here, and I am pouring everything into it.

Every dollar raised goes directly to his chemotherapy. Nothing else.

He has a son who needs his dad, a wife who needs her husband, parents who need their son, a sister who needs her brother, and countless family and friends who are praying for his healing.

If you believe in giving people a fighting chance, please consider giving a little for Voltaire. Any amount means more than you know.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 🙏

Sheena, proudly his little sister
