Any donations from LFWers greatly appreciated 22:39 - Jul 21 with 2439 views

There is a guy in my team that I work with remotely who is currently living in a completely tragic, unimaginable situation.

So, I'm reaching out to LFW'ers by posting a link to my colleagues gogetfunding page below;

https://gogetfunding.com/help-baby-lucian/

These are his words from my last chat with him online a week ago;

"I never knew that the hardest question to answer is "Are you Ok?" and I'm a media buyer. I'm still zoning in and out on a daily basis and in a rollercoaster of anxiety regarding my son in intensive care. We still don't have a definitive yes or no on his survivability but I am still hoping as a father that he would at least be my one miracle in this life, otherwise, none of this make sense. To preserve my mental capacity, i take things day by day, plan day by day and no more than that, I'm just afraid that if the worst happens, I won't have enough mental, emotional and spiritual energy to handle things and I still have my Jarreth to take care of.

Yesterday, I had to find blood donors for him and I'm hoping to complete this funding campaign, this should at least cover his hospital and doctors bill. I've already paid 600K pesos (rougly 11k USD) to the hospital"

I realise it's a bit random as I don't post much these days and it's not actually for a family member, as would usually be the case, but his situation just hit a nerve and is so tragic I just wanted to share on here . 1 donation will have made it worthwhile.

Thanks.

I work in IT and have some experience with these type of fundraising.

I am concerned that the individual lives in country with free health care options, or the option for 'Private' from as little as $100

If you work with the individual on the same team, I would apply some pressure to your employers to do the right thing if needs be.

I've posted a link which explains what health care options are available in country.

Donate wisely guys, I honestly don't want to sound uncaring I just check the cost of healthcare and it's seems vastly different to the cost quoted in the fundraiser.

Here are some typical costs:

I've had to think long and hard, which is not my forte at the best of times, before I reply to this post.

I'm speechless that somebody would post this. The basic insinuation that my colleague is on the make by trying to take advantage of people's goodwill, with the death of his wife and having his prematurley born son in intensive care, beggars belief.

As for "uncaring". If only it had been "just" that.

Best I leave it there, except to say thanks to those that have already donated.
