Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

Our names are Dimitar Radev and Elvie Corvera, and we are reaching out with heavy hearts but hopeful spirits. Life has thrown us unimaginable challenges, yet through it all, we have remained strong for each other and for our beloved daughter, whose light brightens even the darkest days.

I have been diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic cancer, which appeared shortly after giving birth to our wonderful daughter. The medical system here in The Netherlands has left me feeling abandoned, offering no viable options for my condition.

But we refuse to give up. We’ve discovered alternative therapies in The Philippines —sonotherapy, IV high vitamin C treatments, and photodynamic therapy—that are offering me a chance at hope. These therapies, while promising, come at a significant cost. Just as in Europe, where even simple IV vitamin infusions are prohibitively expensive, there we will need to pay for everything out of our pocket. Having sold nearly all our possessions to cover medical expenses so far, we find ourselves in a situation where we must ask for your help.

I am starting to see an improvement, and I truly believe these treatments can give me both a fighting chance to heal and to be there for my daughter as she grows up. But we cannot do this alone. 

We humbly ask for your support whether through donations, prayers, or sharing our story with others. 

Every little bit helps us get one step closer to the healing we so desperately need.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with us during this difficult time. Your kindness means the world to us and gives us the strength to keep fighting.

With gratitude and love,  

Elvie and Dimitar
