In 2018, Jerry noticed a palpable mass under his jaw that kept increasing in size. Although he sought medical attention, Jerry and his family were unable to support his continued need for medications and checkups. Over time, the mass kept growing, causing swelling in his neck. Due to his condition, Jerry was unable to receive job orders and support his family. This has affected his self-esteem and confidence in socializing with other people.
Fortunately, a few months ago Jerry was referred by his friend to our medical partner, World Surgical Foundation Philippines. Doctors assessed Jerry and diagnosed him with a submandibular gland tumor. This condition usually presents as a painless neck mass but may progress into cancer if not treated immediately.
World Surgical Foundation Philippines is helping Jerry access the care he needs and is asking for your help to fund his $1,479 procedure on March 11th.
Jerry shared, “I’ve been praying to the Lord to heal my condition. Gladly, he sent you as an answer to my prayers. I may not be able to return the favor, but I’ll continuously pray that the Lord bless you more. Thank you so much, WATSI and World Surgical Foundation Philippines for helping me!”

Jerry underwent surgery to remove a mass in his neck.
Jerry’s surgery was successful! The swelling on his neck not only caused physical deformity, but also affected his mental well-being. Now that he received the surgery, he is able to live a life free from the limitations of his conditions, and shared how comfortable he is, pain-free and worry-free. He’s now able to interact with others with confidence, and won’t be discriminated against in receiving job offers. Once fully recovered, he’ll be able to continue supporting his family without worrying about his medical condition.
With tears of joy, Jerry thanked WATSI and World Surgical Foundation Philippines for their support. “With only our means, I can never afford this operation. I hope people like you continue to help people like me. I pray that you’d be able to reach more people in need. You’re truly a blessing to us all!”
