Hospitalization & Medications

"Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it."

If there's one word that my friends would use to describe me, it will be - SELFLESS.

I am more concerned with the needs and wishes of others than of myself. I always put them first - whether it is my family, friends, or even a stranger. Because seeing them happy makes me happy. That, I believe, is my purpose in life.

I've been volunteering since I was in High School. Started volunteering abroad after I drop out of college. Worked for a Non-Profit Organisation and started my own last 2016 - www.btgphils.org / www.fb.com/BTG.Philippines. I can say, I am one of the few crazy people who think they can change the world.

I also have a small Language Center since it's been my dream to have a school where young people can learn different skills. I've been giving scholarships to disadvantaged youth with potentials. A good example will be my staff, Rey. He was just my student before. I gave him a scholarship for further studies and now he's teaching Japanese and makes a living out of it and teaches those who are motivated to learn but can't afford an education to pay it forward. The profit of the language center goes to the organization.

I've known that I'm not really healthy since I was young. I'm the type of person that goes in and out of the hospital and visit doctors often.

But last year (2017), I've felt very weak. I can't function normally. So I decided to see a doctor.

I have a hormonal imbalance that caused other different illnesses.

So what do I currently have?

- Ovarian Cyst on my Right Ovary
- Polycystic Ovary in my Left Ovary
- Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
- Type 2 Diabetes

And maybe some other more which I am afraid to discover.

So what do I need?

- I need a Tonsillectomy and a surgery to reduce my palates to clear my airways
- I need to undergo sleep studies/tests
- I need to buy a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure)
- I need to undergo a surgery to have my cyst removed
- I need to regulate my blood sugar

Because of my diabetes, undergoing those surgeries make it complicated. And because of my diabetes, I got disapproved by health and life insurance companies that could have helped to lessen my medical expenses. And because of my current situation, I got frustrated, stressed, depressed and suffered from anxiety attacks.

"You cannot give what you do not have."

I promised myself that I will focus on my health, well-being, and happiness before I can continue helping & making other people happy and I really hope you guys can help me on this! :)
