My Family Needs Your Help

My family needs your help

Hi everyone. I’m Kei, 18, she/her, and I am a writer on Tumblr and Ao3 from the Philippines. Currently I write mostly Sanders Sides-related fics. So, let me introduce you to my aunt.

This is our Tita (aunt) Maricar. She is the eldest of five siblings. She is a loving wife and a mother to one daughter, who we can safely say she loves and cares about with every fiber of her being. Tita Maricar stood as the breadwinner of her small family, continuing to work in a government office despite the dangers of Covid-19 in our country to be able to provide. 

Despite taking all the necessary health and safety precautions, she began to suffer flu-like symptoms, and was eventually admitted to a hospital in the Philippines last July 14, Covid positive. Since then, her health has deteriorated; suffering from a cardiac arrest, rupturing an artery due to an aneurysm, and falling into a coma.

Her condition required her to stay in the Intensive Care Unit for four (4) weeks, needing help from sixteen (16) doctors of varying specializations. She has since been moved to a private room, but until now she still remains confined. 

As of August 16, total hospital bills have reached two million, four hundred eighty-two thousand, one hundred thirteen pesos (Php2,482,113) or fifty-thousand nine hundred ninety dollars (USD 50,990) excluding professional fees. Covid has made the economic situation of the country fall recently, and it has become increasingly difficult for her husband and newly-graduated daughter to find employment. Our family is standing under the weight of all the expenses, and we are in dire need of help.

Our Tita Maricar is one of the strongest women I know. She’s fought any and all problems in her life head-on, standing firm through every hurdle and brave in the face of uncertainties. I’ve known her to have a mind sharp as steel, a smile bright enough to light up the corners of the darkest, murkiest rooms, a hand ever open and almost never closed, and a heart big enough to carry love that went beyond the walls of their home.

My offer stands for as long as the donation drive does. EVERY BIT OF HELP COUNTS! From a simple writer who still remains holding on firmly to any sliver of hope she can, thank you for taking the time to read this post, and I just want to let y’all know that I appreciate every single one of you. 

The fight of and for a wife, a mother, an aunt, a sister, a daughter, and a friend rages on.  Stay safe everyone. <3
