Chang Gung Memorial Hospital success rate of 97% for hundreds of liver transplant patients decided us to go for Taiwan. Moreover, compared to Medical City’s Php4.5 million procedure, Chang Gung Memorial’s initial estimate covers Php3 million which is still the least expensive. We hope people will understand that it is not a matter of being “choosy” but we only want bigger chance for Wacky’s survival. Nonetheless, we do look forward and support having our very own liver transplant facility in the country.
God must have understood the dilemma we were facing because right after the news came out, a series of events happened for Wacky, resulting for more help to come his way:
Jan 25: Wacky’s call for help was published in Inquirer Metro page, the same issue where Erika’s successful liver transplant was put in the headlines
Jan 27: Raymond and Caress was interviewed in DZMM teleradyo by Ms Karen Davila and Vic Lima in their program, Pasada Sais Trenta.
Feb 3: Wacky’s story was featured by Ms Karen Davila in ABS-CBN Krusada’s episode about biliary atresia
Feb 5: the concert by Rosario Parish Church in Cavite (featuring the Regina Coeli Choir) was successfully held
We are humbled by the text messages, donations and the personal time people gave us to support the fund raising for Wacky’s liver transplant. Indeed, God have timed these events perfectly so that along with the heightened awareness with biliary atresia and liver transplant thru the media, our call for help have also reached more people.
To all who have responded, from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU and GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
