Hello. My name is
Katrina, and I am a friend of the De Chavez Family. I am appealing to your
generosity to help the Family; both parents are diagnosed with critical
illnesses. Evangeline (Mother) is with Stage 3B BREAST CANCER and BRAIN Metastasis and Limeul
(Father) is with BRAIN TUMOR.
I have known
Evangeline for more than 20 years; we were classmates in college. She was a
lovely and talented person. She is excellent at singing where she used to compete in our school. After graduation, she briefly worked outside the country where she met her husband, Limuel. They got married and blessed with three beautiful
kids.
Sometime in 2014 we
were shocked when we heard the news that she was sick, and we almost lost her.
She had Spontaneous Pneumothorax, and the water entered her lungs and underwent
surgery. She was so brave that she survived that critical part of her life. We
thought she was doing fine, not until early 2020.
In March 2020,
Evangeline noticed a lump in her breast and ignored it not until a few months
when breast cancer symptoms started to appear. They decided to seek the
doctor's help when blood was seen on her right breast. She was then diagnosed
with Stage 3B Cancer and had operations in Jan 2021. She underwent chemotherapy
with the help of friends and relatives; we raised money for her healing. After
a year, cancer has spread to her brain, resulting in other organ complications,
and the latest diagnosis is that her cancer has advanced Brain Metastasis.
While we were all on
the updates for Evangeline's health, Lemuel is starting to experience vision
problems, dizziness, and headaches around pandemic time. They seek the help of
a doctor since the blurred and headache is severe. He was diagnosed with a
Brain Tumor.
The situation is
heartbreaking since De Chavez family is still a young family (in their 30s)
with three exceptional children. They are all trying their best to attend to
their expenses and medical bills. Their occupation is selling food. We are
appealing to you to please, if you are in the position to help, EVERY DOLLAR
COUNTS. Let us give them HOPE that there are good people who will help them in
these challenging times.
