In periculum mortis, all laws collapse. In danger of death, all laws collapse.

Today, let me be. I am just moved by a story of a family whose 7-month old baby is in grave danger. The mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019 but got pregnant and gave birth to the daughter. Ellie, the baby was diagnosed with Down syndrome shortly after birth. A few days ago, the baby was also diagnosed with Infantile Spasms and Complete Atrioventricular Septal Defect wherein there is a large hole in the center of the heart. She needs to be operated on but needs P800k. According to their cardiologist, they are running out of time. They have none to fund the operation and further treatment.

When you get sad news like this, you don’t think of whether or not they believe in God, or what will happen to you if you help, or if this is a good time. You just.

I raise my cup to Ellie.
