William has been diagnosed with a C2–T1 Intradural Extramedullary Tumor (probably Schwannoma), a condition affecting his spinal cord that requires urgent surgical treatment. The estimated cost of his surgery and medical care is approximately ₱1.5 million, a burden that our family cannot carry alone.

Despite his condition, William continues to face each day with courage and hope. However, time is critical. As the tumor continues to put pressure on his spinal cord, delaying surgery increases the risk of serious and potentially irreversible complications.

Without timely surgical intervention, William may experience paralysis of his arms and legs, loss of hand function and grip strength, difficulty performing simple daily tasks such as buttoning his own shirt, holding objects, writing, or caring for himself independently. As the condition progresses, it may also affect the muscles responsible for breathing, leading to difficulty breathing and other life-threatening complications. If paralysis occurs before surgery, the damage may become permanent and irreversible.
