Dear friends and family,
As you all know, my mom passed away last April 24, 2014 due to cancer. My birthday is coming this July 20. It's my first birthday without my mother and I feel so devastated. I recently suffered from depression and in my healing process, I feel the need to help other sick people. I am not that financially stable to donate a lot of money they need but I can give my free time in doing what I can do for them. We have schedule on July 21, 2014, for volunteering at Missionary of Charity, Home of Joy for sick people. We will organize an event that will cater activities to make those kids appreciate their life inspite of their condition. In this way, we can try and bring a little smile on the face of these children who have suffered a lot in life. I just want to bring joy to those fighters and warriors like my mother.
I also want to donate funds that can help them with their everyday needs such as medicines, foods like milk, cerelac, etc. I am trying to raise as much money as possible.
Thus, I am making a humble request to you to try and help us out in any possible way, be it money or through providing services, donating clothes for kids or foods. Hence, this is a sincere plea to you to help us.
With the help of your assistance, the organization will be able to support a large number of sick children. Your small donation today can help make a big difference in their lives.
Any amount or any kind of donation will be highly appreciated as long as it is coming from your heart.

Thank you very much for considering a donation for this noble cause.
Yours faithfully,
Aiza Reyes Medina
