Good Day, I kindly request your assistance with the medical expenses for my wife's treatment. She was diagnosed with rheumatic heart disease and has been receiving medical care since her admission to North General Hospital Cebu on October 3, 2023. After a week of hospitalization, she underwent an open heart surgery on October 16, 2023, and she is currently in the process of recovery at Perpetual Succour Hospital. 

The financial burden of these medical bills is overwhelming for our family, and we are seeking financial aid from your esteemed office.
