My Travel Story

by: Jan Maiad Trampe Start Date: Jan 20, 2025 - End Date: Jan 19, 2026
My name is Maiad Trampe, a 39-year-old Filipino battling Melanoma, an aggressive form of skin cancer. This diagnosis has turned my world upside down. As the breadwinner for my family, I'm facing a devastating financial burden.

Knowing that the cost of immunotherapy in the Philippines is prohibitively high – a staggering PHP 140,000 (USD 2,400) every three weeks – I sought alternative solutions. In my quest for healing, I've been accepted into a clinical trial in Singapore. This trial offers me access to cutting-edge immunotherapy, a promising avenue for treatment. While this significantly reduces the financial burden compared to treatment in the Philippines, the ongoing costs of travel – airfare, accommodation, and daily living expenses – during my bi-weekly trips from the Philippines to Singapore still pose a significant financial obstacle.

I'm humbly reaching out to you for your support. Every contribution, no matter how small, will bring me closer to overcoming this challenge and returning to my family. Your generosity will directly fund my travel expenses, allowing me to continue this crucial immunotherapy treatment and increase my chances of beating cancer.

I am a fighter, and with your help, I believe I can win this battle. Thank you for your compassion and for believing in my fight
