Lola Veronica desperately needs your help...

Our World Sisters United Director in Malasqui, Vangie, featured in the blog just before this, has also been suffering the painful deterioration of her grandmother Lola Veronica. Pictured here is some very difficult photos to look at. This is Lola Veronica, who was featured in some earlier blogs here on this site. She has deteriorated quite a bit. She was diagnosed with throat cancer but doesn't have the money for treatment. Living in the Philippines is rough if you have no money. There is no health care or general hospitals people can go to. We have tried to raise $250 dollars for the next level of treatment that could possibly fight the cancer but it seems that it is too late at this point. She does not eat much now.
Shown here is Vangie comforting her grandmother. Vangie asked me a couple of days ago for money to buy adult diapers. She said that at this point all that can be done is to give her diapers to help her stay in some comfort. As well the medicine seems to help a great deal to give her an appetite. So we are begging all of you out there to help Lola Veronica out in her last days.
Vangie will need to keep these diapers in stock and to purchase more medicine. The cost for a week of diapers is about 10 dollars. The medicine cost is about twice that for a week. Please send whatever you can. Just a dollar or two donation will do an amazing service to help this kind elderly lady living in a nipa hut in Malasqui who is just trying to be as comfortable as she can in her last days.
Please pray for Lola Veronica and please send her anything you can spare to help her buy more diapers and medicine. Your money will go direct to her cause.

Please give a dollar to to help Lola Veronica!
