Standing by My Father from Afar – We Need Your Help

Hi, my name is Lex, and I live in Hamilton, NZ.

I am reaching out to ask for your support for my father, who is overseas (Philippines) and whom I have not been with since 2019.

On March 13, he suffered a heart attack (myocardial infarction) and was taken to the hospital, where he underwent an angiogram and angioplasty. Since then, he has undergone 13 hemodialysis sessions.

On April 15, he was again rushed to the hospital and was diagnosed with metabolic encephalopathy - a term for brain dysfunction caused by systemic illnesses—such as organ failure and or infections.

My siblings and I, who are also supporting our own families, are finding it very challenging to provide for our father in the hospital, as well as for our mother, who suffers from severe arthritis, severe osteoporosis, severe scoliosis. They have no income or insurance and are relying solely on a pension, support from family, and the hope of limited government assistance.

We humbly ask for any support you can offer, whether through a donation or by sharing this message.

Thank you very much for your kindness and support.

Ngā mihi nui,

Lex
