I never thought I would be writing something like this.

Our baby, Rayne, is currently in the NICU, bravely fighting after being diagnosed with campomelic dysplasia, a very rare and life-threatening genetic condition. Every day we pray for good news, and every day we hold onto hope that our little one will keep fighting.

Today, I'm asking for help because I have run out of options. I am raising funds to pay for Rayne's NICU bill, and every single peso donated will go directly toward the hospital's final billing. Nothing is more important to us than giving our son every chance to live.

I don't like asking people for money. It's one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I've always wanted to handle my family's problems on my own, but this situation is bigger than anything I could have prepared for. I feel like I've reached the lowest point of my life. There are nights when I ask myself, "Where did I go wrong?" Even so, I know this is not about me anymore. It is about Rayne, and I will do whatever it takes to fight for my son.

If you can spare even a small amount, it would mean more than words can express. If you're unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser with your family and friends would be an incredible help.

Thank you for reading Rayne's story, for your prayers, and for standing with our family during the most difficult time of our lives. Every act of kindness brings us one step closer to bringing our baby boy home.

Malooy intawn mo namo, God bless you!
