Urgent Help Timothy- for his spine surgery and long term therapy.- he’s 15 years old

Auckland

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

We are reaching out with heavy hearts and hopeful spirits to ask for your support for our beloved nephew, Timothy.

At just a young age, Timothy is already facing a serious medical challenge, a spinal condition that causes him pain and threatens his ability to enjoy and live a normal, active life.

Doctors have recommended urgent spinal surgery to relieve his pain and prevent further complications such as paralysis. The cost of the operation is ₱400,000 PHP, a sum that is beyond what our family can afford on our own.

Timothy is a bright, cheerful, smart, talented and brave big brother. We want to give him that chance and we need your help to make it happen. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to our goal. If you’re unable to give financially, please consider sharing this page with your network.

Your kindness and generosity can change Timothy’s life forever. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your support. With love and gratitude, Castillo Family

Wonderful news!

After a 5-hour surgery, 6 hours in post-op, and 5 days in the hospital, we’re so happy to share that Timothy is finally home.

He still has a journey ahead with physical therapy, but we’re hopeful he’ll be able to return to his normal life in time.

As we close this chapter and this page, we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your love, support, and prayers have meant more than we can say. We’ve felt carried by your kindness through it all.

We are truly grateful and so very blessed.

Thank you for being with us.
