Mom with cancer needs assistance

A 41-year-old mother from San Nicolas, Cebu City is in need of financial assistance for her cancer treatment.

Esterlita Dubias has follicular thyroid cancer.

Dubias first discovered her neck swellling, which she thought as a goiter.

She underwent a series of laboratory tests and the results revealed that she has a thyroid cancer.

Her doctor advised her to undergo surgery but she can’t afford the procedure since she only works as a housemaid whose salary is not even enough to send her only son to school.

She recently stopped working when her condition worsened and is now relying on the support of her brothers and sisters.

Dubias is scheduled to undergo three sessions of radioactive iodine therapy at P47,000 each.

She has already visited different agencies and organizations to seek help.

Esterlita is also asking kindhearted individuals for financial help.

Those who wish to donate material and/or financial assistance may coordinate with the Kapwa Ko, Mahal Ko Foundation at the Cebu City Health Building with contact numbers 2324706, 4129020 and (0917) 6257090 or deposit donations directly to Unionbank at account no. 00-112-000066-2.
