Fundraiser for John Ferrer's Family

At the height of the Covid-19 pandemic in the Philippines, two of John's loved ones became very sick, one after the other. In 2020 his grandmother became very ill, needing hospital care. At this time public hospitals were not coping with the volume of people who were sick, and many died while waiting in hospital foyer and hallways. Wanting to do everything to save her, John's family took their grandmother to a private hospital where she was admitted and confined for over a month, receiving treatment. But sadly, she succumbed to Covid-19 complications that same year. In 2021 John's father became very ill. The situation in public hospitals was even worse this time. Determined to do everything to save his father, John took him to a private hospital for treatment. The treatment was helpful at the beginning, but the complications from Covid-19 became unmanageable. John's father died of pneumonia the following year, 2022. He was only 56 years old. These couple of years were very difficult time for John's family. The loss was painful and deep. But in addition to that, these two private hospitalisations, and all their associations costs, left John's family with a massive debt, which will take many many years before they can repay it fully. John is the only breadwinner in the family; he carries the weight of this burden alone. He needs help.
