Oaminal's lifesaving help brings new hope to Realyn Simbajon's life

 

Realyn Simbajon, a resident of Sinacaban, Misamis Occidental, is one of the many who have found a new lease on life through the #AlagangOaminal initiative.

She recently underwent a life-saving open-heart surgery at the Philippine Heart Center, a procedure made possible through the dedicated support of Second District Representative Sancho Fernando “Ando” Oaminal and Misamis Occidental Governor Henry S. Oaminal.

For years, Realyn lived with a heart condition that made everyday life a challenge. She longed for a life free from the limitations of her illness—a dream that seemed out of reach until the Oaminals intervened.

The Free Hospitalization Program, spearheaded by Cong. Ando Oaminal, covered all of Realyn’s medical expenses, including transportation, accommodation, and food.

"Your Free Hospitalization Program made it possible for me to receive the open-heart surgery I so desperately needed at the Philippine Heart Center. But you didn't stop there. You not only shouldered my hospital bills but also ensured that I had everything I needed during my stay in Manila," Simbajon shared.

Governor Henry S. Oaminal's commitment to advancing healthcare in Misamis Occidental was crucial to Realyn’s recovery. His leadership ensured that residents like Realyn could access essential medical care, ultimately making a significant difference in their lives.

Local leaders, including Mayor Dello Lood and Barangay Captain Eulalia Regalado, also provided unwavering support, helping Simbajon navigate the challenges she faced.

"My journey to a new heart was filled with challenges, but also with profound love, support, and hope. I am deeply grateful to everyone who made this possible," Realyn expressed.

Simbajon’s story is one of resilience and gratitude. The support she received from her community gave her the strength to overcome her health challenges and embrace a new chapter in her life. Her journey is a powerful example of the impact of community support and the importance of accessible healthcare, underscoring the difference compassionate leadership can make in the lives of those in need.(SN/PGMO)
