Anak ni Pen Medina, humingi ng tulong online para sa major spine surgery ng ama

Pen Medina's daughter, Japs Medina, recently took to her Facebook account to post a 'call for charity' for her father who will undergo a spine surgery.

On Friday, July 15, we learned that Japs penned a lengthy post where she asked help from netizens, as well as, her dad's "friends, relatives, and co-workers."

According to Japs' post, her father has been in the hospital for three weeks now and cannot sit or stand up due to his condition.

Based on Japs' Facebook post, Pen is suffering from Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) and that he is scheduled for a major spine surgery on July 19.

"Our dad, 71-year-old actor Pen Medina, has been in the hospital for three weeks now and currently cannot sit or stand up due to Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD). He is scheduled for a major spine surgery on Tuesday, July 19," she began.

Continuing further, Japs explained that due to the pandemic, their dad "scarcely had any work" which eventually "siphoned his savings."

"Due to the pandemic, our dad scarcely had any work, which siphoned his savings over the past two years. We are trying to help him as best as we can but it will be a long road to sufficient recovery for him. We humbly appeal for your charitable help and prayers as our family navigates through helping him get back on his feet - literally and figuratively," Japs said.
