Ervin is 37 years old and has Stage 4, Gastric Cancer. He is
from Liliw town of Laguna, Philippines. His wife and two young kids
have set up a GoFundMe page for him (courtesy of Aziza, his wife's cousin who is based in Britain).
Ervin is a former cook in a fastfood restaurant in Quezon City, Philippines, then transferred to their residence in Liliw to look after their children who are studying in the town; and do some planting and take care of some pigs for sale. His wife continued to work in Quezon City and went home to Liliw on weekends.

Any amount you can spare going toward Ervin's immediate medication (surgery and ongoing chemotherapy) will be much appreciated. Below is the text that appears on that page. Thanks very much for your help. Here's a prayer also for other cancer victims around the world!

Hi, my name is Aziza and I am raising funds for Ervin in Laguna,
Philippines. My cousin Kate's husband who is diagnosed last January with
Stage IV Gastric Cancer.
Ervin has had a long journey of surgery and chemotherapy sessions.
But every time he does chemo, he is always admitted first for a blood
transfusion due to very low levels of haemoglobin. The CT scans have
shown there were no significant changes and there was an increase in the
size of his lymph nodes.
Last July 24-27, Ervin was admitted at Healthway Qualimed for blood
transfusion and endoscopy (and did some tests). His gastro showed us
there was bleeding in his stomach which is why his haemoglobin is always
decreasing. He has no choice but to undergo surgery again this August
to stop the bleeding.
As Kate is currently the sole provider and looking after their two
children, external support to help fund Ervin's medical expenses would
be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this and for your contribution - large or small.
