Kyle Echarri asked his fans to include his 11-year-old sister Bella in their prayers as he disclosed that she was diagnosed with brain tumor.
The actor showed photos of them together and shared how she kept the diagnosis from him for over a month, as per his Instagram page today, June 22.
“My baby sister Bella has been my world since the day she was born,” he said. “Just yesterday I was told by my family that my little girl was diagnosed with a brain tumor on May 2nd and she wanted to hide it from me because she said she didn’t want me to get stressed while I was working.”
“To say it hurts is an understatement,” he added. “I love this girl 10x more than I love myself.”
Kyle expressed his hopes for the “complete healing” of his sister, adding that she has finished her radiation treatment.
“She’s the most beautiful, smart, and amazing little kid that I will love forever,” he said. “We have all high hopes and I’m hoping everyone can help pray for complete healing for my little girl.”
Fellow celebrities who extended their prayers and sent their well wishes to Kyle’s sister include Cassy Legaspi, Darren Espanto, Moira Dela Torre, Ria Atayde and Barbie Imperial. /ra
