Our family has always believed in standing strong through challenges, but now we need strength from others.
On June 11, 2026, our dad, Dante, was rushed to the hospital and has been fighting for his life in the ICU ever since. The emergency brain surgery to remove blood clots was a small victory, but ongoing complications required another. He remains in a coma, waiting for a tracheotomy to help him breathe.
Dad’s path to recovery is filled with medical hurdles, including an upcoming heart angioplasty to address his root struggles. Each procedure is vital, but the financial burden has grown beyond what we can handle, reaching 1.3 million pesos or $20,000 USD and still counting.
Dante is more than a medical chart; he’s the heart of our family, filling our home with laughter and love. Even the doctors are amazed by the miraculous fight he gives every day, clinging to life with determination that warms us with hope.
As his daughter managing these efforts from afar, I feel the weight of wanting to be there with him. Every memory of his laughter pulls us closer, reminding us of the strength he embodies.
We dream of the day he returns to the life he built with care and joy, cherishing every heartbeat that promises more moments together.
