Good afternoon sir. I'm Roldan B. Cabañas, Jr., 40 yrs. old from Surigao del Norte. Last December 21, 2022, I was examined having a congenital heart disease (PDA) at San Pedro Hospital, Davao City. My doctor said that I need to undergo an urgent heart surgery operation as soon as possible. However, according to my doctor that I need P600,000-700,000 for the operation which I can't afford. Now, I'm seeking and reaching out organization/people who can extend medical assistance for my surgery. May I know If you can help me? Thank you.
