Gryka Dael​, 2011-2017 ✞

Retinoblastoma

Gryka fell ill with Retinoblastoma (eye tumor) in 2013 and underwent surgery. However, the tumor spread to her neck and caused a large tumor to grow there. In July 2016, her treatment began again and was funded by donations. Unfortunately, the tumor returned and is incurable. Donations continued to be used for pain therapy. On October 2, 2017, Gryka Krisan Dael sadly passed away.

Former Patients

TJ

TJ

Lymphoma

TJ’s mother suddenly noticed a lump on TJ’s neck, which began to grow very quickly. Since the parents could not afford the treatment, the tumor grew rapidly and became inflamed. We found TJ after a Facebook appeal in the hospital.

Josietry Pitogo

Ovarian Cancer

Josietry fell ill with ovarian cancer in January 2017 at the age of 17. She has been in treatment since March and is now in the final phase of chemo. The donations were used for the last chemos. Josietry is now cancer-free.

Dave

Dave

Leukemia

Dave is a 15-year-old boy who has been under our care since 2018. He was also diagnosed with leukemia. Just like the others, his parents cannot provide him with the treatment he needs due to their financial situation. We help Dave with his chemotherapy and his urgently needed medication.

Ember Nicole Remolano

Ember Nicole Remolano

acute lymphatic leukemia (ALL)

Ember fell ill with ALL in July 2014. The parents were able to pay for the treatment by putting all the income from the parents’ restaurant into the treatment and by borrowing money from relatives. Then Ember’s father died very suddenly of a heart attack in July 2017. We were able to take Amber in and pay for her further treatments, which the mother was no longer able to do on her own.

Hanah Orriesga

Hanah Orriesga

Leukemia (ALL)

Hanah has suffered from leukemia since March 2015. Monthly costs for her chemotherapy are about 300 euros. The parents come from a district in Cebu. Hanah’s father works as an employee and her mother is a homemaker, so the parents could not afford all the chemotherapies.

Lorraine Mhae

Lorraine Mhae

Asthma

Lorraine Mhae, also called Raine, is 1 year and 5 months old. The organization began supporting her in August 2018. Due to her asthma, we sponsored an inhaler for her.

Aphrodite

Aphrodite

Whooping Cough and Pneumonia

Aphrodite was admitted to the intensive care unit in February 2018 with acute pneumonia in connection with whooping cough. In the meantime, we were able to pay for the most necessary medication and treatments and Aphrodite is now doing well again, but the parents now have high debts, which we are trying to pay off through donations.

Rene Boy Junior Asilom

Rene Boy Junior Asilom

acute lymphatic leukemia (ALL)

Rene had been suffering from leukemia since January 2017. Exactly one year later, we admitted him to our program and paid for his chemotherapy through donations. Rene has been at Everlasting Hope since 2017 because he comes from the province of Bohol and can only receive the important therapies in Cebu. The monthly costs were approximately 280 - 350 euros per month.

Rachel

Rachel

Complicated Leg Fracture with Implant

Rachel is 15 years old. In September 2018, we came across her by chance. She had a motorcycle accident and urgently needed an implant in her foot, otherwise the bone would not have healed properly and she would probably never have been able to walk properly again.

Kenzo

Kenzo

Hirschsprung's disease

Kenzo is 3 years old. He suffers from Hirschsprung’s disease, in which nerve cells in the intestine do not work and the intestine narrows. The parents were still able to finance the first operation for an artificial intestinal outlet, but he still needs other operations. We are supporting him in paying for his medication and his stomata. We want Kenzo to have his surgery now so he can lead a normal life.

Gabrilla Mae

Gabrilla Mae

Broken Thigh Bone at Birth

Baby Gabrilla Mae did not have a very good start in life. She was born via C-section, and due to unfortunate circumstances during birth, her thigh bone was broken. Unfortunately, she was born in a small clinic in the province. The advice given was not very good, and she was sent home. We were made aware of the case because the parents did not have the money for further examinations. We took her to an orthopedic specialist, and the leg has finally been splinted. A few more check-ups will follow, but everything looks good now, and the doctor was able to assure us that in a few weeks everything will be normal.
