Part 3/5:
Vanessa had been struggling with health challenges for several months prior to her death. In her final social media post in January, she provided an intimate view of her experience as a patient in a Philippine hospital. In that moment of vulnerability, she recounted how a Filipino doctor, who was a fan of her videos, brought a moment of joy amidst her suffering by connecting her to his wife.
In December 2024, when her condition worsened, Fernando initiated a GoFundMe campaign to help cover the costs of Vanessa's medical treatment. He disclosed that she had become extremely weak, finding it difficult to eat, walk, or even speak. These revelations highlighted the severity of her situation and the love and support surrounding her during this challenging period.
