Sick Father Using Improvised Oxygen Receives Outpouring Help After Going Viral
A sick father who went viral online for using an improvised oxygen device has received outpouring help from kind-hearted netizens.
Previously, the Bonancia family from Barangay Sibaguan, Sagñay, Camarines Sur, had captured the hearts of many when they shared how they made a makeshift oxygen setup for their father, Jeorge, 47, due to the high cost of medical oxygen.
Using a bucket, a clip fan, an old hose, and a plastic bottle with a little water, they tried to provide relief for Jeorge, who suffers from kidney, liver, heart, and lung illnesses. Being a family of ten siblings, they struggled to cover expenses for oxygen, medicine, and other medical needs.
The post of Rainiel Bonancia, his 24-year-old son, quickly spread online and caught public attention. The family received outpouring help from kind-hearted individuals.
Recently, the family no longer relies on an improvised setup. Jeorge now has proper oxygen tanks to aid his breathing, along with a nebulizer, food supplies, and financial assistance for his medicine and milk.
Rainiel shared that some donors even provided backup oxygen tanks, ensuring Jeorge would not run out of oxygen. The family promised to be transparent with all donations and provide regular updates on Jeorge’s condition.
The outpouring of help has been overwhelming and deeply appreciated by the family. The family continues to express heartfelt gratitude to everyone who helped them.
