Raising funds to cover the hospital and ICU costs of Salvador Vallejo, currently fighting prostate cancer complications in the Philippines
Auckland
Our Papa, Salvador Vallejo (known to many as Badong) is currently fighting for his life in the ICU at ACE Medical Centre in Mandaluyong, Philippines. Since 22 June 2026, he has been battling serious complications from prostate cancer, including kidney failure requiring emergency dialysis, a nephrostomy procedure, and is currently intubated in intensive care.
This is not Papa's first battle. Over the past two years, he has undergone multiple major operations and hospitalisations, each one taking a serious toll on his health and on our family's finances. As his family based in New Zealand, we have been doing everything we can to support him and the family in the Philippines through each of these difficult episodes. Sadly, the ongoing medical costs over these years have exhausted our personal savings, and we now find ourselves unable to cover the costs of this critical hospitalisation on our own.
Every dollar raised goes directly toward his mounting hospital and medical costs during this ICU stay. Papa Badong is a beloved father, grandfather, and friend to many. If you can spare anything at all, it would mean the world to our family during this incredibly difficult time. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 🙏
Salvador Vallejo is my father-in-law - we call him Papa, and he means the world to our family
All funds raised will be transferred to Ana Lisa Vallejo Salvador, Salvador's daughter and my wife, on his behalf, to cover his ongoing hospital and medical expenses in the Philippines
