From a Courageous and Affectionate Mom

I have seen this admirable and heart-melting post from a blogger who’s actually looking for immediate help. For all the readers, please have time to view her post. I know that if I repost this, it'll be the simplest way I can do to help them. So please have time to read on and pass the message to all people you know. A simple prayer and a little help, when united altogether can convey a meaningful message and a huge effect especially for this pure-hearted Mom and a loving daughter who are asking just a part of our blessings. All of our financial and spiritual help really matters… I sincerely thank all of you as well!


"On March 2004, my daughter was diagnosed with ASD (Atrial Septal Defect). It's a congenital heart disease and the only cure is for her to undergo an open-heart surgery. A year later, her pedia-cardiologist heard a 2nd murmur and found out that it's coming from her cleft mitrial valves (congenital mitral regurgitation). The doctor advised us to have an open heart surgery as soon as possible because a complication might affect her in someway and will be too dangerous for her. The complications are sometimes irreversible that even a surgery can't help. For now, she's taking furosemide until the time of her surgery.

It has been 4 years and still she haven't been on surgery. She recently had a check-up where her doctor advised us to have the surgery the soonest possible time before it's too late. We're still raising the 400,000 peso surgery value and up to this date, we have raised an amount of 25,000 pesos with the help of friends and the people who have read this. This year is our target for her operation. Miracles do happen. And I never loose hope. Thank you so much to the good Samaritans out there.


The internet is the only option I know to help me give my daughter a healthier life. Though some may have doubts regarding this matter, I will assure you that I will never put my daughter's life here if I'm just making this all up. This is the only way I know to speed up the process of raising the money we need. I'm also seeking charities everywhere hoping that one of them will help us. Some people may not understand or criticize me for asking for help from strangers but I guess anyone who's in my position who's running out of time will do the same.


If you need any documents or anything to support my plea, please email me. I'll be more than willing to send you any information and/ or laboratory tests you will be needing. I have also posted the results online, click here.

Thank you so very much. I hope and pray that the Lord God will touch your hearts after reading this and I hope you'll be a part of saving my daughter's life. To those angels who helped us all these years, from cash to kinds to letters, I hope to meet you all someday. Though it may be difficult since we live worlds apart, please accept my sincerest thank you. You are heaven sent.

Thank you and God bless....
