"Help Me Help!"

Last November my wife's nephew, Raphael was scheduled for operation. He was already in the hospital and all pre-operation procedures were set. A few minutes before his operation the doctor stop the operation and declared that Raphael won't be able to heal fast or it might have complication if they continue the operation. The doctor explained further that Raphael still has phlegm and they thought that they could get rid of it in just a few hours that's why they still go on with the pre-operation procedure. But still Raphael is not fit to be operated.

Raphael Montas is two years old already and he has a very usual case of deformity, his clef pallet and clef lip. We have looked and asked for help to different organization for Raphael's operation. Many had responded and most of them were free granting that Raphael will be in good and healthy condition before the operation.

Raphael was scheduled and prioritized many times and I think his last was his fourth attempt to be operated.

Due to his condition his very receptive to viruses and bacteria which causes his health to decline. Also with lack of good nutrients to supply his body is the major problem.

Raphael's parents are simple and don't have much income to support his operation and nutritional needs. Marlon a tireman in a not well known tire supplier, only earns Php 100.00 to Php 200.00 a day while Felisa is a plain housewife. With the income they are earning, supporting Raphael's nutritional needs is a big problem for them.

Raphael really needs the operation as early as possible so he could be treated like a normal people and away from mockery of people who don't understand his situation.

Help me help Raphael by giving him support that he needs to ensure a good smile on his life.
