A GoFundMe Account for You to Help Dr. Eck

“You’re a man of faith, Doc.  How are you holding up, given this new fight that you’re on?”

“Well I always tell people, the only reason I survived COVID was because of prayers.  I have my cousin, Ven, Venecia Salazar, when I was sick with COVID and at death’s door on multiple occasions, she had started a prayer group and that rosary was done every day.  She has started it again and we have people from multiple countries who log in and pray, seven o’clock every day, for me.  I go to church at St. Martin’s and that community is behind me as well.  But I think the best people are my patients, the children.  During the last time, the COVID incident, they sent a lot of really heartfelt videos to me and their prayers are sincere, really sincere.”

“I understand that a GoFundMe account has been established for anyone who is interested or willing to assist you financially can do so via this account.  Can you speak to us on that?”

 

Dr. Cecilio Eck

“Well, it was my good friend Mrs. Milagro Garel, she works at World Pediatrics and I am associated with that, I am their medical representative.  She said, “Ces, I’ll set this up, don’t worry about it.”  But I was a little hesitant at first because I knew that once that came out, Isani would be in my office and I suspect the others will come eventually and my phone has been ringing off the hook.  And I know a lot of people, when they go through an issue like this, they sometimes fear it or they sometimes feel ashamed of it and maybe my message is that it is not my fault.  It is not anybody’s fault, it could happen to any of us and at some point in time you’re humbled and you have to ask for help.”
