Our Journey With Pitches

Pitches is one of the children whom we were giving cathechesis in the squatters. She was diagnosed to have ENCEPHALITIS. A sickness which has no treatment.

The family lives in the squatters and both parents have no stable job. They are among thoses who earns and eats money in a day. We as a community initiated and encouraged them to bring her to the hospital promising tjat we will help them find some financial help tp the best that we can. Through communicating with the friends, we were able to raise enough funds for her. Aside from financial help we were also journeying with them emotionally. We ourselves are emotionally involve as we were jorneying with Pitches for almost four years before she was attacked with the disease. Pitches died on May 13 after staying in the hospital for almost two months.

It was a real challenge tp journey with dying person, emotionally difficult. But one thing that we thank God is that we were able by His grace to respond to the need of the time. To help and bring hope to one family who were facing hopelessness.
