Glen back in hospital for another draining

Pictured here is Glen back in the hospital again. For those of you that have been following this story you have seen the plight of Glen, a 30 yr old in Angeles City, Philippines, who has been struggling with his liver and kidneys failing. The doctors in Manila said that the cause is his heart. But there is not the funds to go to the next step of conducting an angiogram to determine what is wrong with his heart. Each draining has been costing upwards to US$150 and these drainings are necessarry every two weeks. So the situation is bankrupting and already poor family. Glen's girl friend, Ate Anna, has gotten PHILHEALTH now so that will reduce some of the hospital bills by 50%. So the situation has improved greatly with that. The angiogram will cost US$1000. And even that will only determine the needed heart operation. So the situation is grave. We need your help now.

Pictured here is Glen with his son. Glen's will to live is very strong, as you can imagine, motivated by the desire to be there for is son. We have received almost US$400 for Glen's cause which has probably saved his life as his condition becomes dire when the toxins build up in his body. Please give whatever you can to help Glen with his ongoing medical costs. Even a dollar will help.

Give a dollar to help Glen now!
