JHOMEL Fabella
The family of Jhomel Fabella is appealing in behalf of the 8-year-old boy who has been diagnosed with osteosarcoma or bone cancer. The condition was discovered last year, when his health started to deteriorate.
“He’s become so thin. The cancer cells have spread to his lungs. He is closely being monitored at the intensive care unit,’’ according to his father Joel, a 35-year-old tricycle driver in Parañaque City. The parent appeals to Inquirer readers for financial assistance as Jhomel needs to undergo two more chemotherapy sessions to complete the nine-cycle sessions at Philippine Children’s Medical Center. “The cost is quite high per session. I’ve reached the end of the line. I’ve gone to the Senate and the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office, and I’ve nowhere else to go,” the elder Fabella said. Donors can contact Joel at 0910-9680965. Deposits can be made into the BDO account of his brother Rogelio Fabella Jr., at account number 540125407. Santiago R. Alcantara
