Arnel Tabong Melegrito
Donation protected
Arnel Melegrito came to the United States over 25 years ago and is a hard working breadwinner and loving husband to Lydia Melegrito. Not only is he loving to his wife but very caring and loving to his family. He always tried his best to be present at all the family gatherings and special events of his nieces and nephews. On his days off he enjoyed going fishing, going out with his wife or spending more time with family.
On Wednesday, October 7, 2020, Arnel was admitted to the hospital after experiencing dizzy spells. Some tests were performed and shortly after, he was diagnosed with hypertension and diabetes. Two days after being admitted to the ICU, Arnel experienced a severe stroke and was pronounced comatose by his doctor due to scattered infarctions in his brain.
This has been a sudden and extremely difficult time for his wife and family in both the United States and Philippines. They hope and pray any signs of progress will be evident.
We are raising money to help his wife Lydia pay for Arnel's medical expenses. As you know, 2020 has been a year of unexpected storm of events and hardships. We thank you and appreciate your thoughts, prayers, support and contribution of any dollar amount at this time.
UPDATE: 11/11/2020
It is with great sadness to inform you that Arnel Tabong Melegrito passed away last night, November 10th at 8:27pm in his ICU room at Kaiser, South San Francisco with his wife Lydia and niece Marigenna by his side. Unfortunately he was not able to sustain on his own but is now free from his sufferings and in a better place. Our family is deeply wounded by the loss of our loved one.
We humbly request to help continue sharing/reposting his go fund me page as we are now trying to help assist with both medical and burial expenses/arrangements. One of his wishes was to go back home after retirement so our family is trying our best to get him back there.
Thank you to all of the donors who have contributed for Arnel. We appreciate your generosity and all the thoughts and prayers for our Arnel, his wife Lydia and family during this difficult time.
