Red - Journey in the Dark of a child with Special Needs

Hi There!

I am an admin of a Facebook page "Autism in the Philippines"

About My page

I already run my Facebook page group since 2017, and now we have 589 member on it.

The page is a support group for children with Special Needs. We exchange information, emotional and mental support and comfort each other in times of need. We don't have meet ups, just online.

This is the first time that I embark on this project to help a member that really needs our help. I am not financially well off so I tried this medium to help this member.

In this chance, i would like to help one of our member Alipao Donaire Grace Gemma ' son.

Red, A disable children from Bocaue Bulacan

The son of Alipao Donaire Grace Gemma, He is Red Angelo Donaire. He was born premature, he came out when he was only 6 months.

Right now he is 8 years old. He can't see, can't hear and non verbal. He has global developmental delay.,tonic epilepsy and suffering from acid reflux. He's taking Valprioc and Aspidon for his epilepsy which increase in dosage recently to address his tonic epilepsy.

They have to maintain his medicine as he suffer from lack of sleep and has meltdown without it. He doesn't have the strength to stand and walk for a long time that's why they are grateful to the person who donated the wheelchair that he has right now. His mother used to carry him on her back.

Difficult in financial, $500 is needed for his continuation medicine

Alipao has a sundry store in a remote baranggay in Bocaue Bulacan and Her husband is a barangay desk officer and he has no steady salary but a stipend is given to him every month by the local barangay (this is the smallest unit of our local government in our country).

For that reason, they only barely to keep on their daily necessity. To get enough amount of her son medication might be difficult for them.

I started this project in order to help Red with buying his maintenance medicine as he has tonic epilepsy which is greatly aggravated by his disability as stated in the certification given by his doctor.

If it would amount to $500 (the donation) at least there might be extra money to beef up her mother's sundry store to help with their everyday needs.

He is not undergoing any therapy like occupational or speech as they can't afford them and he can't travel far because it triggers his epilepsy. Right now they do their best to continue his medicine which he really needs so that his seizures can be controlled. They hail from Bocaue Bulacan.

The collected amount will give directly to the mother of red!

We would be very grateful if you could use the [Help by sharing] button to share about this project or donate a small amount that you could spare. Have a great day!
