Actress Jorrybell Agoto, who recently made headlines as the star of “Filipiñana,” is seeking financial assistance amid a battle against cancer.
Colleagues of the actress shared on social media that she was admitted to the Critical Care Unit at St. Luke’s Hospital as her lymphoma, cancer in the lymphatic system, worsens.
“At present, her lungs are filling with fluid in the pleural area, making it difficult for her to breathe,” said Kamil Lipnica, a friend and filmmaker. “She currently has a Blake drain to help manage the fluid and support her condition.”
Lipnica noted how “heartbreaking and challenging” it is for Agoto as treatment, hospital stay, procedures, medications, and other medical needs are amouting to huge expenses.
“Every donation, every share, and every prayer gives Jorrybell and our family hope and strength to keep going. Please help us give Jorrybell the chance to continue her fight,” she added.
