"I am writing this page with great hope and a heavy heart. My name is Phoebe and my father arrived in New Zealand under the visit visa category. Prior to leaving the Philippines, he had medical checkups and his 2D echo was normal. Due to their age, we decided to get medical insurance for him and my mom. However, before even having the insurance approval, he had a cardiac arrest. We were able to revive him with a series of CPR before the ambulance arrived and he was brought to the hospital alive. Later on, they found out that all of his major heart arteries are completely blocked and damaged.

He has been in the hospital for almost two weeks now and needs to undergo a life-saving open-heart surgery at the end of this month. The estimated cost of the surgery is $120,000-$150,000 NZD. While we are doing our very best to arrange these fees, we really do hope you can give us a little support of any amount.

Your love and support would mean everything to us during this difficult time. We really appreciate your kindness and generosity, Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts."
