We previously shared the story of Tyler, a 4-year-old boy in Cavite, Philippines, who has epilepsy and severe cerebral palsy. Through generous donations, Tyler's family has been able to provide for his medical needs, which include regular therapy and medication for his seizures.
Tyler has recently been diagnosed with GERD, a condition that has contributed to him having difficulty keeping food down and gaining weight. As such, he is severely malnourished and weighs just 7.9 kilograms (17.4 pounds). He needs a gastronomy tube placed as well as fundoplication to help him properly digest food and gain weight. These procedures will cost an estimated ₱70,000-₱100,000 ($1,207 - $1,724.78).
Tyler is in the care of his grandparents, who have struggled financially since the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in his grandfather, Alcelito Ladran, losing work. Alcelito is now caring not only for Tyler but also for his wife, who recently had a stroke, leaving her partially paralyzed. The family is grateful for any help you are able to provide. A GoFundMe has been set up on their behalf as this platform is not accessible in the Philippines. All donations will be transferred directly to the family as soon as they are processed. You may also donate directly to the family via PayPal (alcelnardal@gmail.com) and GCash ( 09750282633).
