Support Nasty Nes Rodriguez's Road to Recovery

Dear friends, family, and the extended music community,

I hope this message finds you well. I am contacting you today to request support for a remarkable individual, Nasty "Nes" Rodriguez.

**UPDATE 12/16/24 from Nes Rodriguez**

This is really my first time on social media & reaching out directly to you. Approximately three months ago as of early October I came close to dying due to sepsis, almost losing both kidneys & and having a mild heart attack. I'm in my early 60's. My recovery hospitalization ended late novembver, but I had more medical complications after being released on November 26th that caused me to be readmitted to the ER. Your help has helped me and my family tremendously as I get better. I had planned to begin recovery therapy at home and end this GO FUND ME, but I humbally ask for your help to keep this going for a bit longer.

Thank you to everyone who has helped and contributed. From the guy who put the name PINOY on the Hip Hop map, "Maraming salamat sa into lahat!"
