When I watch GMA 7 nightly news, I dream. I want to be Mel Changco, not her news casting style but the charity works that she does on the Kapuso Foundation. Or at least be a part of her team. Sometimes I wish I can just quit my day job and be of help to anyone. But that isn’t possible, I have mouths to feed. I wish I was born rich, I might have made foundations and I will grow old helping the poorest of the poor. Do I sound like a saint? Oh no – I just want to be of service to anyone somehow. I am no saint. I just want to help.
When a friend’s son needed some financial assistance, all my blogs became a living witness to the fast track fundraising that happened on my $3 for Daniel project. It was overwhelming. The project somehow gave my friend $800 but sadly, Daniel her son died before his major operation in Taiwan. I was devastated, depressed for months. It was hard; i felt that my best wasn’t enough to help the child survive. Another friend now is asking help for her nephew who is suffering from leukemia. Now am thinking of other fundraising ideas but worry that it might end up just like Daniel. So it’s a current dilemma. Am I becoming a candle fundraiser already?
