Heavenly yours

This blog post is part of Zemanta's "Blogging For a Cause" campaign to raise awareness and funds for worthy causes that bloggers care about.

   The Philippines is one of the poorest country in the World. Most of the families, especially the unfortunate ones cannot afford Hospital bills when they get sick. Though many institutions locally are helping them, everyone is  not lucky enough to be enlisted because of the overwhelming count. Only those children that need prompt attention are listed first inline.

Zemanta We'll be donating $6000 to non-profits/charities that get most blogged about in next 4 weeks. Check the event page for details at http://www.zemanta.com/bloggingforacause/

When I stumble upon Zemanta's "Blogging For a Cause" Give a Life Foundation is the first one that came into my mind. Probably because this institution mainly focuses it’s assistance to sick Children. Below is an excerpt from the said foundation’s official website.

“Give A Life children's charity, for the under-privileged sick and dying in the Philippines. Some of Manila's largest pediatric wards need your help. Your donations will provide life saving medicine and equipment for children from the poorest families in the Philippines. The Give A Life Foundation, ensures that 100 % of your gifts go to help sick children in the pediatric wards of Luzon and the Philippines ! Our primary goal is to replace and upgrade the equipment used in these wards. We have also created a new, cost effective and efficient systems for access to medicines, antibiotics, cancer drugs, medical supplies, disinfectants and soaps for the very poorest cases.”

My apology for posting below, pictures of the children needing medical assistance. I don’t want to be accused of exploiting these children but I believe people seeing  these would understand the true meaning of giving and caring for all those in need.

Give a Life Foundation won the top prize at the 39th Grand Anvil Award. It is awarded the GRAND ANVIL plus the ANVIL AWARD of EXCELLENCE. This highly prestigious award was presented by the Public Relations Society of the Philippines.

One of Give a Life Foundation’s on-going project worth mentioning is the “Refurbishment at the Jose Fabella Pediatric Intensive Care Unit” This hospital is the central lying in for  those women giving birth who cannot afford the high cost of private hospital’s medicine, room rate and amenities.

Just this afternoon, May 12, 2009 4:20 PM I received an email from Give a Life Foundation. Here is an excerpt;

Hi Sir Vic,

We want to thank you for creating the blog, we already saw it  and it was so good. Mr. Stephen Jarvis sent his warmest appreciation for making that blog. Thank you vey much and we really do appreciate what you’ve done. If you will be needing  pictures and videos that you can upload on the blog or in “you tube” we are very much willing to send you a copy.

It is the mission of the foundation to extend our service to children who are less fortunate in providing medication to their illnesses. We want to help those children who are sick, and yet they don’t have any money to sustain the medicine they need. It really hurts to see such incidents when parents beg for help, and those children who are suffering.
You’ re blog will serve as an eye-opener for those people who are able to help. Thank you for the effort and the time that you’ve shared with us.

More power and God bless!
Give A Life Charity Foundation

Reading the letter above, I cannot express the feeling that ran through me. Considering that I lost my Job on the day I wrote this BLOG, It is nothing than those children suffering as of this writing. But hey don’t worry. I’m always good at dealing with hard times.

So there it is, this blog post became personal …Oh look my tears are falling..hah..got to publish this update now. God Bless Us all.

I recently found a related article by a Blogcatalog friend. Please do check it out at Me Blogged U .

Thanks in advance for your help.
