My name is Juliette Padon, and I am 47 years old. I have been a dedicated member of the International Church of Christ (ICOC) for 28 years. I was initially reached out to and baptized by ICOC Davao and am currently a member of ICOC Tagum. Unfortunately, my father, Victor Padon, who has been the cornerstone of our family, has recently been diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung Cancer. During this challenging time, we humbly request your support to help cover his substantial hospital bills and medications. Any contribution from the ETF would be a tremendous blessing to our family, which has endured significant hardship over the past years due to my father's medical condition. We are deeply grateful for your kindness, generosity, and prayers. May God continue to bless the ETF and the individuals who are dedicated to this noble cause.

My name is Matilda, a 60-year-old single mother of 5 children. Three years ago, I found solace in my faith and became a disciple. Life took an unexpected turn when my ex-husband sold our marital home without my knowledge and left. I then relocated to Lusaka to live with my second-born daughter, hoping to start anew. About two years ago, I began experiencing excruciating back and neck pain, often waking up with a numb left arm and left leg. After seeking medical help at a government hospital, I was diagnosed in May with Cervical spondylosis, a condition in which two spinal discs in my neck have severely degenerated. The recommended solution is surgery, which comes with a hefty price tag of USD 7,000. On top of that, the medication I need costs 200 USD per month and is crucial for regenerating the cells in my body, a treatment I'm supposed to undergo for 8-12 months. My days are filled with constant pain, making it difficult for me to sleep or even perform simple tasks. I am reaching out for any assistance that would help alleviate the financial burden of both the surgery and ongoing medication. Your support would mean the world to me.

Josephine Canilla, 53 years old, a loving grandmother and a devoted member of ICOC General Santos City in the Philippines, has recently faced a challenging situation. Her granddaughter, Princess Xheyenne Urgel Canilla, who is very dear to her, was hospitalized due to dengue fever. On July 8, 2024, Princess Xheyenne was hospitalized with Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever, severe dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, acute pyelonephritis, acute typhoid fever, and septicemia. Due to her status as a housewife, Josephine has struggled to provide the necessary financial assistance to support her granddaughter's medical bills. Currently, she relies solely on the monthly income of her husband, Fernando Canilla, who is a senior citizen and also a faithful disciple of ICOC General Santos City.
The total hospital bills amount to One Hundred Seventy-Three Thousand pesos (P173,000.00) as of today and are likely to increase, since they are still in the hospital for observation to monitor her platelet & white blood cell count and medication. Any assistance you can offer to help Josephine and her family during this difficult time would be deeply appreciated. Your generosity will help ensure that her granddaughter receives the medical attention and care she needs to recover. May the Lord bless you abundantly for your kindness and support.

My name is María Magdalena, I am 38 years old and a single disciple from the Church of Monterrey, Mexico. When my mother gave birth, to me, I was involved in an accident – I almost fell off the bed and nearly landed in the wastebasket. In trying to save me, the nurse grabbed my left arm, injuring my arm and shoulder. Despite my parents taking me to the orthopaedist to have it set, the injury never fully healed as I grew older.
Aside from my physical condition, I have developed type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and eventually, cataracts. Unable to find a stable job due to my limitations, I sometimes make and sell piñatas to put food on the table and pay bills, but it's rarely enough. Thankfully, my father helps me with my bills using his pension. I live alone in my small, old house, and its dilapidated condition adds another layer of anxiety. The faulty drainage, unfinished floor, and collapsing roof threaten my safety and independence, especially when it rains and insects and mice invade. I am requesting assistance from ETF. Beyond needing medical care, I yearn for a haven, a home where I can feel safe. I hope you will consider my request, and I will always be grateful for your generosity.
