National Children's Hospital Cancer Ward - Outreach Feeding Program

The desire to share God's blessings started on my 50th birthday thus a year later on my 51st year, I decided to have a feeding program at the National Children's hospital in E Rodriguez Ave. Quezon City as a post birthday celebration last Oct 03, 2016. The hospital is located near St. Luke's Hospital, Trinity College and besides Jollibee E. Rodriguez.

Most of the children are cancer patients ages from less than a year to 18 years old. Some of them had to undergo chemotherapy every month while others have been undergoing chemo every year.

Some of my friends from my former work at Duty Free Phils ( Allie,  Milo, Vangie,  Joy, Ate Rubie) joined in the outreach as well as my sister with her kids ( Len/Max, Kim & Enrico), a church mate  (Jo),  staff in SM Makati (Monett) and a colleague from SM Cubao ( Oien) and her friends. They also brought toys and gifts.

The whole team at the lobby.

We asked the support of  relatives and friends for the needs of the patients. The basic need is a special milk IGCO with colostrum which is quite pricey at P2,500.00 per carton (contains 30 pouches). Each patient had to take 1 drink (1 pouch) 3x a day before they undergo chemotherapy . We also brought stuff toys, coloring books and biblical comics .

I am very blessed to have family and friends whose hearts are also for sharing God's blessings. The team is divided to do different tasks such as story telling, coloring activity and praying for the children.

Ate Ruby and Sis Jo were praying for the children.

There are about thirty patients at the cancer ward while another 15 patients at the children's ward at the time of our visit.

Jollibee really brought smiles to the children's faces.

These children are normal kids who also want to play, sing and dance. They are just in a condition that  makes it difficult for them to do so.
However, there are many ways to help these children:

1. sponsor a child's one whole chemo package

2. sponsor one chemo therapy medication

3.sponsor the special milk ( Iglo available in selected Mercury outlet)

4. pray for them

5. visit them 

6. talk to them and play with them

God bless these children and their families as well as their sponsors.

To God be the glory!
