Medicine Needed for Glen

Pictured is the medication needed for Glen. As you can see it's a lot of meds. Glen needs $73 a week to buy his medication. If he doesn't get it it greatly decreases his chance of survival. So if anyone can spare any funds what-so-ever it will help. As Ate Anna said even a couple of days worth of his meds will help. Email me at larriji@gmail.com if you want more details or want a list of the medications and the doctor reports regarding his condition.

This is a peer-to-peer charity blog. Trying to put people in need in touch with people who can help. I doesn't cost much to help a person out or even to save their lives. So give if you have and send us your positive thoughts, prayers and energy if your budget is tight. Thanks to all for your support. Peace in 008! L

Glen wants to live for his son

SEEKING $73 to buy Glen his medicine.
Pictured is Glen with his two year old son Cedrick Jhon. This is the first time I even knew Glen had a son and this is the only time, I've actually seen Glen smile. Glen urgently needs 3k peso (US$73 @ 1-24-08 rate) per week for his medicine. His medicine is very essential for him to stay alive and survive until he gets his heart operation. Glen also needs his last hospital bill paid for which is 15K peso (US$365 @ 1-24-08 rate) Then he still needs 40k (US$974 @ 1-24-08 rate) for a coronary angiogram. Then he still needs a heart operation which is still undertermined what that will cost. Please help in any way you can. You can paypal directly to: wsu_phi@yahoo.com please put Glen Fund in comments. For more information you can contact me at larriji@gmail.com Thank you all!

Peer to Peer Giving works! Lola Veronica gets medicine!

A very special thanks to the anonymous donor that gave $45.50 to Lola Veronica to pay for her medicine. Lola Veronica is 89 years old. She has throat cancer. She lives in Pangasinan Philippines in a traditional nipa hut living like people have for centuries in the beautiful rice fields of Luzon. This person that gave this $45.50 has no idea the suffering alleviated for this elderly woman as a result of the medication she now has. So even though Lola Veronica is fragile and desperately needs a throat operation she is in much better shape because of one kind soul out there. Thank you very much. Here is the email of thanks from Bunso Vangie:

Desperate email about Glen

SEEKING US$368 to pay for Glen's medical bills:
This last week has been rough for Ate Anna and Glen. I've been getting many text messages of Ate Anna pleading for help. All my money is gone, WSU is broke for the time being. But the needs don't stop. Glen even contemplates suicide because things are so difficult and there is no relief in site. He has gone through a year of this agonizing sickness that keeps him in bed with no energy, sleepless nights, no appetite and severe depression. His liver and kidneys have failed, his skin tone and eyes are yellow because of the toxins in his body. He is slowly dieing a miserable death. All the doctors can do is to drain the toxic buildups by jabbing a hole in his stomach and draining the fluids.

If anyone out there can help please contact me at larriji@gmail.com . WSU is applying for our legal non-profit status but we are not a legal non-profit at this time. So this donation is not tax deductible but non-the-less it is a great thing to do and will immediately help a fellow human in need. Thank you all for your support in this peer-to-peer charity blog. We are asking for any help. Glen's present hospital bill is 15K peso (US$368) Below is an email to me on Jan 19, from Ate Anna:

hi kuya! how r u.. i know u do ur best to help us... and i know u really wants to help.. i understand ur situiation kuya really i understand you... and im really thankfull that u always and understand all the problems comeng..kuya i really need ur help.. we need to go home but glen is in hospital untill cant pay the bills... just i told u just half of the bills glen is go home already... but still i cant find money.. plssss kuya help us.. i dont have load also to txt u always.. plsssss kuya help us... i know this is a trials to all of us... but kuya plsssssssss i need ur help.. plssssss send me some money so we can deposit in hospital and glen is go home already.. then the reamaining bal. i offer that when we have money we pay...plssssssss kuya send me some money. plsssss help us... god love us and i know that.. he wacthing us. kuya txt me pls.. help me pls. we love u tc always bec we love u so much.. thank you so much kuya.

Peer to Peer Giving

The non-profit World Sisters United (WSU) will be running Peer to Peer Giving, a web portal for peer-to-peer charity. WSU will act as intermediary for the operation. So that way the people with needs can be verified, their web profiles can be produced and WSU can make sure the money is properly managed and handed off to the recipient. As well, WSU can produce the follow-up story. Peer to Peer Giving will allow many who are otherwise overlooked by other non-profits. Those who need are unlimited. But we can now make it easier to find and address dispossessed people around the globe. There is always room for better and easier ways to get money to those who need. The statistics of people in severe poverty on earth is staggering. This challenge will always be upon us. The objective of Peer to Peer Giving is to make giving easy and more immediate. Those listed in this blog are examples of people who have desperate immediate needs. These are all real people who have nobody to turn to. They are all good people who just don't have the finances to pay medical bills or feed their infant. All this is very common in developing countries and even rich nations like our own. So anybody with some spare cash can be a hero with peer-to-peer giving. Now it's very simple to even save a persons life for the cost of an Ipod or a night on the town. So consider this great new possibility that the internet gives us. Give directly to those in need. Save a life, help a fellow being out. Spread the wealth. Give direct.

We are applying for our 501(c)(3) status now. So we will be a legal nonprofit as soon as we can. But this doesn't mean the needs aren't still urgent. Please give now. Thank you. Please contact me at larriji@gmail.com for more details. Peace to all in 008, L

Hospital holds newborn as collateral!

SEEKING US$404 to rescue this newborn and return her to her mother.
Bunso Maryan is Director of the Biliran chapter of World Sisters United. She is a single mom who lives in a nipa hut with no electricity or running water. She lives with her parents in a very traditional life in a very remote island region of the Philippines. Her father is too old to work and she has been the breadwinner in her family since she was 14. I recruited her two years ago for WSU and have helped her leave her sweatshop job in cyber sex. Maryan just gave birth to a slightly premature baby with health difficulties. She just got stuck with a medical bill where the hospital won't give her baby back until she pays the bill! I was astounded when I heard that. This sounds like kidnapping to me but apparently its common practice there. In the Philippines when you can't pay your bill you can't leave the hospital. We saw that in the earlier blog about Glen. But to keep a newborn infant from its mother somehow pushes beyond the boundaries of civil. So there you have it, hospitals holding babies as collateral for the hospital bill. Please help us find 16.5K peso (US$404) Contact me at larriji@gmail.com if you can help this young mother get her baby back. God bless. L

Here is the series of text messages from bunso Maryan regarding her newborn infant Rhiann:

Baby CJ's parent's wedding

SEEKING US$80 per month sponsorship to feed this baby:
Baby CJ needs a sponsor to buy him formula and diapers for a year. We are looking for some kind heart that can spare US$80 a month for a year. Please email me at larriji@gmail.com if you can help this newborn. Baby CJ will not breast feed. The parents can by no means afford expensive formula and diapers. It is essential infants get proper nutrition during the first year. Many thanks for your help and positive thoughts. God bless. L

Baby CJ's parent's wedding in 2007

CJ's parent's wedding in Pangasinan with members of WSU attending.

In Nov 2007 I had the great honor to be godfather of the wedding of the parents of baby CJ. It was quite an amazing experience to take part in a beautiful traditional Filipino wedding. It was an all day affair that ended with a large party where the whole village took part. Bunso Raine, CJ's mom, is one of the Directors for WSU, heading up the Pangasinan chapter.

We are looking for someone to sponsor Baby CJ for one year.

Glen really needs help now...

SEEKING US$120 to pay the deposit on this man's immediate medical bills:

We are desperately asking for some money to help Glen. I'm getting frequent text messages and emails from Ate Anna now for 5K peso (US$120) for a deposit for the next draining of toxic fluids for Glen. His breathing was apparently so irregular that he had to go back into the hospital to go on life support. This is a very bad turn of events. Even though the draining is keeping him alive it is ultimately not progress because its just treating the symptom and not fixing the root problem. This is the conundrum we are facing. What Glen really needs is a coronary angiogram (costs US$1000) to narrow down the specific issue causing his liver and kidneys to fail. Then this test should tell the doctors what is wrong with his heart so they can operate (costs unknown). Specialists in the Manila heart clinic that examined Glen ran enough tests to see that the root problem is in his heart but he needs the angiogram before he can be operated on. But the bottom line is none of this can happen without assistance from our friends. Glen comes from a poor family and there is no money at all. Please email me if you can help in any way; larriji@gmail.com . If any readers out there has any medical connections in the Philippines who can help, please pass it on to us, it might very well save Glen's life.

Meanwhile WSU members are still documenting Glen's story to get the message out there. Our chief director Kaye is going to be video taping Glen again after we lost the last footage due to the tape malfunctioning. Here is the latest email from Ate Anna:


this is pix of glen hope this pix is help for donation people... really tired every mints every our every day.. but i have nochoice.. kuya i need ur help a lot.. kaye txt me the video of glen is gone she dont know what? happen:((... video is big help i dont know what happen kaye for the video... kuyA i need money what will i do here... pls help us.. god bless us.. we love u.

STILL SEEKING US$1000 to pay for angiogram for Glen. Even a dollar can help. Through microgiving we can get Glen the tests he needs. Please give a single dollar now!

Glen is back in the hospital...

Glen is back in the hospital to get drained again. We are desperately looking for someone to help us with another 15k peso (US$370 at today's exchange rate) Here is the latest email plea from Ate Anna:

hello kuya!! this is the pix of glen plssssssss help us... we need money.. just for now we need to deposit 5k then if we go home the 10k.. pls kuya help us... may god bless us.. wait ur txt i told to management untill tom. i pay the 5k... help us.

Pictured above is Lola Veronica with her family in 2006 before she got sick with throat cancer. In the center is Bunso Vangie (Lola Veronica is to her right).

Received some text message conversations from Bunso Vangie on 1/12/08. Vangie needs 1845 peso (US$45.5) for medicine for her Lola Veronica. WSU funds are depleted and so are mine so we are seeking help from our friends. Using paypal and xoom we can get the money to the Philippines almost instantly. Please contact me at larriji@gmail.com if you can help Lola Veronica, who desperately needs a throat operation. We are also looking for a free clinic in the Pangasinan area. Thank you for caring.

Blogging for baby Rhiann Nicole

STILL NEED US$376 to pay this newborn's medical bills:

Baby Rhiann Nicole was born on December 14 of 2007 to WSU member Maryann Asis, Director of our Biliran chapter. She was born premature and has a congenital heart problem. The baby is seen here in an incubator where she still must stay. But the doctors say that the premature baby needs to go to a better hospital in Tacloban some hours drive from Naval, Biliran where the baby now resides there at the public hospital. We are asking our freinds out there to please help baby Rhiann Nicole. Her mother, Maryann, is a single mother (the father abandoned the mother and baby) and she lives in a nipa hut on a squatters village on the Island of Biliran. There is no money in the family and no support to be found so far. Since all the WSU funds and my own funds are depleted we need extra help. Please contact me here if you can help. (larriji@gmail.com) We can easily paypal or xoom the money to our WSU account and get the money to Maryann immediately. This money may save this babies life. We are asking for 15K peso (US$376) to pay for this babies hospital bills and to transport the baby to a better hospital where they have the facilities and expertise to find everything this baby needs to survive. Below is a note Maryann has written in Tagalog to tell her story:

THANK YOU donor S--- for giving US$376 to pay for this man's medical bills:

Great news concerning Glen. A very close friend of mine saw the blog and called me up. She was very moved by Glen's plight and paid the 15k peso hospital bill. Ate Anna and Glen were thrilled to get the news. I xoom'd the money to them the next day and Glen got to leave the hospital and return home. Pictured above is him at his parents house writing a thank you letter to the peer donor. So a simple blog like this is setting peer to peer charity into a reality. Very exciting to see this. Peer to peer charity is the future in giving. Below is the letter Glen wrote to the very kind donor. To see people helping people directly across the globe is very moving. These are the real living heroes of these times; the one in need and the giver to those. Below is Glen's letter of thanks:

Blogging for baby CJ

Baby CJ is one month and one week old. He is born to Bunso Raine and her new husband Ian. I was Godfather of their wedding in Nov 2007. Raine is one of our amazing Directors in WSU in Philippines. She is Director of the Pangasinan chapter and also first manager of KIRL (Kuya International Rice Lending). This rice lending business is an amazing idea thought of by Raine's dad. Loaning rice to those who just need a bag of rice to feed their families for a month while some work is pending. Its helping to save families from a certain starvation. Unfortunately I only had a few hundred dollars to front capital for the initial rice and we have since run out of rice to loan. Raine also has a sari shop but is struggling for keeping stock. The father of CJ, Ian, has just started a construction job, but entry level construction in the Philippines pays very little. So this young couple is having a difficult time just keeping the baby in formula, diapers and vitamins.

Raine's monthly budget for baby CJ:
formula - 1876 peso
pampers - 860 peso
vitamins - 500 peso
total - 3236 peso/$79US per month

I am blogging here to find a sponsor for this young couple as they struggle to provide their new baby with the proper nutrition. This couple I personally know well, They are a wonderful, honest, God loving couple. They live in a squatters village in Pangasinan and are struggling to keep their baby with a full belly. They only need a sponsor for a year till baby CJ is on solid foods. Please message me if you feel you can help this couple. One time or regular contributors are welcome. Anything will help. Thanks,

Please give a dollar now for baby CJ!

Lola Veronica struggling to talk

This photo I took in Nov 2007 in Pangasinan. Lola Veronica was struggling to tell me that she lost her voice. Just the year before in Oct 2006 Lola Veronica had sang some old Pangasinan folk songs only she could remember. We are desperately trying to raise 12K peso (around $250US) for her to get an operation on her throat.

anyone who has some extra funds please paypal anything you can spare to: wsu_phi@yahoo.com and write "Lola Veronica Fund" in the comments. WSU members will make sure the funds get to Lola Veronica. Please message me telling me of your donation. Please note we are not a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit yet. We are working on getting this set up. But until then the donation is not tax deductible.

Many thanks!

Blogging for Lola Veronica

Pictured above is Lola Veronica at the WSU sari sari shop in Malasqui. I first met Lola Veronica in 2006 at her home in the Pangasinan province on the island of Luzon. She is the great aunt of Vangie, WSU Director of Malasqui chapter. Lola Veronica is now in the hospital in Pangasinan with throat cancer. She is struggling a great deal suffering a great deal and the doctors give her a 50-50 chance to live. We are trying to raise 12K(about $250US) peso to pay for a throat operation that might save her.

All WSU money is depleted at this time. So anybody out there that has some extra money please message me. You can paypal direct to our WSU bank account in the Philippines. email address: wsu_phi@yahoo.com Please put in comments Lola Veronica Fund. Our 501(c)(3) registration is still in progress. So this is not a tax deductible donation. But none the less its a worthy and desperately needed donation. Thank you for all the positive thoughts and words of support.

Peace in 008
