Dear Friends & Family.

We would like to thank you all for supporting Rodly on her journey to recovery from breast cancer.

Thank you!

We would like to start this update by acknowledging the kind people (many we do not know personally) who publicly submitted a donation to Rodly’s GoFundMe. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the following donors:

Ria Piamonte
Candace Thayer-Coe
Pamela Canlas
Marie C Pierre
Cheryl Tan

We always want to take a moment to the compassionate people that donated anonymously to Rodly’s GoFundMe. Out of respect for your privacy, we cannot publicly acknowledge your giving but please know we are very grateful.

Where are the funds going?

Rodly’s sister, Marie, has created a US dollar account for the GoFundMe. All the money is being sent to this USD account and the plan is to only touch when we need additional funds for Rodly’s chemotherapy treatments and eventual surgery.

What has happened so far?

Rodly is being treated by Doctor Joseph D. Parra at Makati Medical Center. She has 8 out of a planned 16 chemotherapy sessions. Chemotherapy is a grueling, painful experience but Rodly has faced her treatment with a great deal of grace and courage.

In recent days, she has found comfort in returning to the sketch work she learned as a fashion student at the Fashion Institute of the Philippines. You can check out some of her latest work here:

She has also been added as an administrator to the GoFundMe page, so she should be able to see all your messages and donations. Once again, we are truly grateful to everyone that has shared the GoFundMe page for Rodly and donated towards her treatment.

We hope to keep on sharing the good news with you, as Rodly marches towards a complete and full recovery. We love you all.

Any mob, attacking American Jews [for any reason] should be dealt with to the fullest extent of the law and with the same relentlessness, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has exercised against the January 6th Capitol Rioters.

Throughout my time in the Philippines, it was my pleasure to see my friend and colleague Ria Reyes grow her Big Picture Asia events and marketing business together with her husband Jerome B Smooth.

Encompassing some of the most exciting concerts and events that took place in the Philippines over the past decade+, they have created unforgettable memories for tens of thousands of attendees.

And I am excited to see where they go next as they expand their services. Keep going Ria and Big Picture Asia!
