YOUgive

This project of giving back to people in need would not have come to reality without the help of my mom. She had a feeling in her heart that she needed to share her hard earned money to people in need.

Let me narrate it down so that you can get a feel on how it got started. It's Tuesday afternoon, the 18th of November 2008. Our goal for this day is to help pediatric patients in Provicial Hospital Bacolod. We feel that they are the most fragile patients in the hostpital so we went straight to the pediatric ward. We got our budget for the day which is $100.
The exchange rate for dollar is P49.75 to $1 so we have around P4975.00.

We talked to the doctor on duty, he pointed out 4 patients that would really benefit if they have medicines, but because they cannot comply with the medications, their help is now on the balance. He gave us prescriptions for the four patients, interviewed the parents and then went off to buy those supplies and medicines. We brought it back to the nurse station where those medicines will be prepared and administered to patients on doctor's orders. I brought a digital camera with me hoping to get a picture of the patients with their permission ofcourse, but for some reason, the battery was not charged. Anyway, we figured we can go back tomorrow and take a picture of our patients.

We manage to help 4 patients in the pediatric ward that needed.

P.S While we were interviewing them, we did not tell anyone that we would buy their medicines for their children or else everybody will swarm at us. I will add more to this introduction tomorrow so please stay tune.
