Calling All Teachers and Filipinos: Support Anais Gimeno's Journey to Overcoming Inborn Urinary Incontinence through Bladder Augmentation Surgery


Los Angeles, California Feb 7, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - Anais Gimeno, a teacher from the Philippines with and Master's Degree in Education, is suffering from inborn urinary incontinence and is in dire need of bladder augmentation surgery. Growing up with this illness has not been easy for Anais, as she has faced bullying and struggles with her job as a substitute teacher in a mountainous area of her country.

Anais was born with a stage 4 left kidney and a stage 1 right kidney. At a young age, she was rushed to the National Kidney Institute in the Philippines, where a hole was made under her navel to alleviate her condition. Although her kidneys have since stabilized, she still suffers from inborn urinary incontinence and must wear a modified garter with plastic or diapers to hold her urine.

Despite her struggles, Anais is determined to live a normal life and continue teaching. She is currently raising funds through a GoGetFunding campaign to pay for her bladder augmentation surgery, set to take place on April 20, 2023.

"I know it ain't no picnic living with this illness, but I ain't the type to lay down and take it lying down," said Anais in the style of Mark Twain. "I'm determined to get this surgery and get back to teaching and living the life I want. I'm asking for your assistance so I can get this surgery and turn my lemons into lemonade."

The procedure is costly and not covered by insurance, which is why Anais and her family are reaching out to the community for support. They hope to raise enough funds to cover the cost of the surgery, as well as any post-operative expenses and rehabilitation costs.

"I know times are tough, but if you got a spare coin or two, I'd be much obliged if you'd consider helping me out," said Anais. "I ain't asking for much, just a chance to live a normal life and follow my dreams."

Those interested in supporting Anais can visit her GoGetFunding page to make a donation. Every little bit helps and any support, no matter how small, is greatly appreciated. You can also watch her video on YouTube where she explains more about her story and her goal.

"I ain't much for words, but I'll say this much: if you help me out, you'll be doing a good deed that'll make you feel right fine," said Anias

UP hands UE 27th consecutive loss to secure 2nd spot

MANILA, Philippines — The University of the Philippines (UP) obtained the second spot at the end of the first round after defeating the hapless University of the East (UE), 91-81, in the UAAP Season 89 men’s basketball tournament at the UST Quadricentennial Pavilion on Saturday night. This win allowed the Fighting Maroons to enjoy a solo second with a 5-2 win-loss record, while the Red Warriors still could not crack through the win column, 0-7. UP overcame UE’s challenge in the fourth quarter with Toper Lagat firing from all cylinders to possibly score an upset. However, James Payosing paced the Fighting Maroons down the stretch to secure a 91-81 victory. Payosing finished with 16 points and 12 rebounds, while Chicco Briones and Gani Stevens added 12 and 12 points, respectively. The Fighting Maroons scattered their offense as Elliot Dimaculangan and Veejay Pre both chipped in 11 points, while Dikachi Ududo and Rey Remogat added 10 points identically. UE, on the other hand, suffered its 27th straight loss, as the last time the Red Warriors won a match was on October 26, 2024. Lagat mounted 26 points, two rebounds, and five assists for UE, but it was not enough to score a win in UAAP Season 89. The Red Warriors now tied UP’s own record of 27 straight losses set between 2012 and 2014. The all-time longest losing streak in UAAP history is still held by the Adamson Soaring Falcons, who endured 35 consecutive losses from 1999 to 2002.
