URGENT GBS Medication - please help my brother in the Philippines

$830 of $20,000 goal
Given by 16 generous donors in 2 days

Urgent support for my brother, who is in ICU in the Philippines and needs 21 vials of medication within 5 days.

Wellington

My younger brother, Benedict, is currently in critical condition in ICU in the Philippines.

He has been diagnosed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome, a serious condition that affects the nerves and can cause rapid weakness, breathing difficulties, and other life-threatening complications. His doctors have advised that he urgently needs treatment to give him the best chance of recovery.

The medication he needs costs ₱33,200 per vial, which is approximately NZ$910 per vial. He requires 21 vials within 5 days, bringing the cost of the medication alone to ₱697,200 PHP, approximately NZ$19,000. This does not include ICU care, hospital bills, tests, and other medical expenses.

Our family is doing everything we can, but the cost is overwhelming and time is critical. Any amount, big or small, will help towards his urgent treatment and ongoing hospital care.

Funds raised through this page will be paid into my verified New Zealand bank account and transferred to my family/hospital in the Philippines to help cover my brother’s medical expenses.

If you are unable to donate, sharing this page would also mean so much.

Thank you for your kindness, prayers, and support during this very difficult time.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
