According to Kenneth Punzalan, who posted a financial aid appeal for Ella’s treatment at gogetfunding.com, the teenager needs to undergo chemotheraphy four times a week.
“They do not have enough resources as their parents already passed away and their allowances are not enough to support the medication,” Kenneth said.
“Hoping for any amount of financial support you can offer. It would be a great help for them. Thank you very much in advance,” he added.
