The Fight Will Soon Be Over

At four months, we first noticed Zayzay snores like a grown-up and we were even amused to hear the sound coming out from his mouth. After a year, he was terribly sick and we have to rush him to the hospital. Doctors said it was just asthma but I doubted them so I searched the Internet why he sleep like that, stop breathing, choking, gasping for air. Then we found doctors who have the same thoughts about this sleep disorder of my son. They listen as we talk, unlike the previous doctors. And they have confirmed it. Zayzay has sleep apnea. But big problem came after. We need to raise big amount of money to perform surgery, to remove his large tonsils and adenoids. I worked all day until dawn, almost every night to seek help and assistance from relatives, friends and even from people unknown to us. And good thing, a lot of people listened to my call. Lots of people from different parts of the world, different races and beliefs send us prayers. Cash also came in, but as of this moment, we have not reached the target. But still, we are very thankful for they came, that they help, even if some of them do not know us personally. But what made our hearts, as parents, feel better after a lot of sacrifices for our son is the message from a television program who got interested to help us. Hopefully, with this show, our problem with our son will come to an end. Thanks Be To God.

Sorry to hear about it. I hope that your son can get well soon! Maybe seeking media help and church assistance might help as well. They might get your some sentimental sponsor to raise the money for special aide.

Your situation and your discussion points out one very important thing. There are many people who are good and kind and caring. They live all over the world. I am hopeful with you that the television program is able to get the surgery for ZayZay that he needs so that you as a family can have a more carefree life.

you are right, Gerty. there are really lots of people who are good, kind and caring. one thing that we have to thank God for having the technology, that i came to reach them. how could we imagine reaching Virginia or Ontario without the Internet? of course there is the telephone. but Internet is great and we can communicate better and cheaper too. we still keep praying that with the help of the television program, we could get what we need for Zayzay. if not free, almost free. thank you for keeping the support.

What television program is that? I really hope that that television program can give a big help with your son's situation. i hope they will not use you for their rating because I have experienced before with my relative. God is good all the time and he help your family because you have a good heart and you are sincere. And God helps those who help themselves. Please still update us. That is a good news!

yes, letran, grecy. the show has not been started yet. i also choose not to mention the name of the network or the channel or the show itself, here in the thread as it may seem to be a promotion that is not allowed here, i guess. better meet me on facebook or send me pm.

I pray that all will be well for your son soon and that the T.V. program will come to the rescue. My prayers are still coming your way although I am unable to help with money. I think the trick is to release this situation to God and I am certain He will come to your assistance at the right time. Good luck to you…

Hello Neildc, You know some how, i feel enlightened. not just because you're son is in a road to possible recovery but despite of the troubles of the world we live in, there's still a fraction of goodness from other people. despite of most people being self-fish they are still a few who are willing to help. i agree, we should thank the lord for this.

yes letran, all credits goes to the Lord for we still have good and kind people like you, who always there to extend help to the needy. we keep our fingers crossed for the operation. and for the management of the hospital to grant us the much needed operation for our son. if not totally free, i guess they won't charge us that big as cameras will be rolling for them.

Hi neildc! I may not have responded much to your post. But this time around I'm glad to hear that a tv program is interested in your plight to raise fund for Zayzay's surgery. Your sacrifice is all worth it. Hope he gets the best medical attention. Blessings!
