Meet Rolando, a 51-year-old man from the Philippines. Currently, Rolando experiences stomach pain due to an inguinal hernia. He has been living with a hernia for the past nine years, but because he has been unable to go to the hospital, it has become increasingly worse.
Rolando is a father and loves spending time with his children. A very diligent father, he plants vegetables and rice depending on the season to provide the needs of their family. His wife and children were encouraging him to seek treatment for a long time, but he refused because he worried about what his family would eat if he was hospitalized.
Rolando “is determined to win this battle against his condition,” his medical team shared. “He is willing to undergo the operation to have a quality and meaningful life free from pain and sickness.”
The hernia repair surgery Ronaldo needs will cost $962. “Me and my wife are looking forward that the operation will be successful,” Ronaldo shared. “Thank you for your generosity that you will help me financially in my surgery. As a father, I could not bear seeing my family suffer because of me. I am determined to be healed and be again the father who can provide and protect his family. Thank you so much for the help.”
