To put my aunt’s diagnosis in perspective, this type of Meningioma accounts for less than 1-3% of meningiomas that she’s been fighting.

Belfast, Christchurch

My Aunt, Mira, has been fighting Rhabdoid Meningioma Grade III for over 10 years. To put in perspective, this type of Meningioma accounts for less than 1-3% of meningiomas, it is classified as WHO grade III, which indicate that its a high-grade tumor with a tendency to recur and behave aggressively. This is a rare and aggressive brain tumor that develops in the protective layers around the brain and spinal cord. It grows quickly, is hard to treat, and often returns even after surgery and therapy.

Last year, she underwent brain surgery after experiencing severe seizures and intense headaches. And now, as of today, Mira is in a critical condition. Our family is doing everything we can but Unfortunately, the financial burden is overwhelming, and we are unable to manage it. Mira is currently in a critically condition and her battle remains uncertain. All funds raised will be directed entirely toward covering her medical expenses.

Despite everything she’s endured, Mira has always been a source of strength and light to everyone around her, I’ve grown up with her around and seeing her stand her ground against the long, never ending battle of brain tumor has motivate

The money will be spent towards covering her medical expenses in the Phillipines
