The United Filipino Organization has launched a fundraising drive on behalf of the family of a Philippine national who recently died of breast cancer.<\/p>\n
In a statement, UFO sought the community\u2019s support by donating any amount and dropping it at designated donation boxes.<\/p>\n
UFO said it will only endorse donations at designated dropbox locations and other organizations. A family representative listed will be the sole contact for each donations box and the only representative allowed to pick up the boxes.<\/p>\n
Jeanette Vistan Capayas, 48, was originally from Bulacan, the Philippines and left behind three children and a husband. Her son, Jonathan an upcoming senior at Marianas High School, said their mother\u2019s death is a tragedy for the family.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe had a really hard time breathing already. I guess her organs were already failing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Jonathan Capayas said his mother was admitted to the hospital a week before her demise and doctors had to administer morphine to soothe her pain.<\/p>\n
Nightly rosaries are being held at the San Antonio Church with the help of the Sto. Ni\u00f1o Group and those interested in attending may contact family representatives for more details.<\/p>\n
Donation to the Capayas family can be dropped off at the following locations: LBC Chalan Laulau and Garapan, Rustan\u2019s FOREX in Chalan Kanoa, RNV FOREX Remittance in Garapan, APEX Remitance in Chalan Kanoa, and D\u2019 Elegance Restaurant in Garapan.<\/p>\n
People or companies hoping to donate can also call UFO president Marlon Regaton at 788-9358 or Capayas\u2019 husband, Rolly, at 783-1967.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
