Greetings!


Welcome to our website! Thank you for visiting us.

YOUgive Charity was founded in November 2008 with the vision to share God's gifts through medical support for the under-privileged sick children in the Philippines. The YOUgive Charity, ensures that 100% of your gifts go to help sick children in the pediatric wards!

Thanksgiving is fast approaching and so is Christmas and New Year. These are all happy events and we should be thankful to the Lord that he brought us here in the US of A. Sometimes we forget how lucky we are to be here BUT have you ever thought why?

My favorite saying is "Not a single leaf falls, unless it's the will of GOD". He programs everything. For years i have been thinking and praying and asking the LORD what my purpose in life is esp my stay in America. After hearing stories from practising Nurses that some patients at the Prov. Hospital undergo surgery without anesthesia because they don't have the money.

I focused on that and wanted to start a charity work there. I needed a reliable partner in Bacolod to carry out this project and everyone seems so busy trying to make ends meet. Sometime last week my son just got up and went to the Provincial Hospital to have a quick peek and what he saw is quite devastating. He chose the Pediatrics ward and there was a teen couple from E.B. Magalona whose 6 months old baby was almost dying because the mother didn't have the money to buy oxygen. The nurse was using an ambu bag but the mother was telling her not to resuscitate the baby since she doesn't have the money to buy medicines anyway. She as saying good bye to the baby and it was really heart breaking. Before he left, the baby died. For starters he was able to help 4 patients like Baby Jaypee and Rica Lou with $100.00.

In his website you will see all these patients and he even took the time to go buy the medicines in a different drugstore, just to stretch the dollar a little bit. For a little over P500.00 (Pesos) he was able to buy 6 months worth of medicine for a child with tuberculosis. That child has now checked out.

I hope what you see and read in this website will touch you and .. yes... we are asking for a donation of any kind.. even a dollar will do.

He has assigned someone to make the blog so that we are all updated. You can either reveal your name and he will assign a patient to you so that you can monitor his or her progress or you can use a code name. For example NYNY -- your $20 donation went to Baby James and he has meningitis. There's even a medical explanation as to what meningitis is.

So, have fun and I know that WE are special because the LORD has touched our hearts!! Remember, by just forgoing a Mcdo sandwich today -- you can already save a life.


Sincerly,
Cynthia
