Purpose: Hospital Bills
Tracking no: #OVP-077652388821
Good day! I'm TRESIANNI C. RAYA and I am asking for financial assistance on behalf of my father, EMMANUEL R. RAYA. My father is a 66 yeard old widower. He is a diabetic and currently undergoing dialysis. About 3 weeks ago, August 4, 2024 we rushed him to Senitarium Hospital Gingoog City because of difficulty of breathing. He was intubated but lost his heartbeat which prompted rescuciatation efforts. With God's intervention, he regained his pulse and we were referred here in Allied Care Experts Medical Center Butuan City, Agusan del Norte where he was promptly put in the ICU. To this day, August 26, 2024, we are still in the ICU and we are racking up bills. Currently, we owe the hospital minus the doctor fee, almost 700,000.00. My brothers and I are finding it difficult to sustain my father's daily hospital needs. We already pawned our land and our rice field. We are putting a hard fight for our father but our resources are getting low. My brothers and I have already incurred loans. While our youngest is still in nursing school. I am also a cancer survivor so money is really tight. We are asking the government for help and we implore you to hear our plea. Thank you.
