“Mom, I’m tired already. I love you so much. Please take good care of my sisters and brother.”
My daughter Jenilyn is only 9 years old. When I heard those words from her, I didn’t know how to bear the pain. I told her to keep fighting. I promised her that I would find people who could help us. Today, I am reaching out to you because of that promise.
Jenilyn has been fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia since she was six years old. Now the cancer has returned and has affected her central nervous system. The doctors told us that we need to act quickly.
She spent three weeks in the hospital receiving chemotherapy. We were able to go home for only three days before a fever and severe sores in her mouth brought us back to the hospital. She was in so much pain that she could barely open her mouth. She is now receiving antibiotics, and her chemotherapy has been temporarily postponed because of her condition.
After so many procedures, my child is afraid of needles. When the doctors cannot find a suitable vein in her arms, they have to place the IV in her legs. She cries from the pain, and I stay beside her, unable to take it away.
“Why me, Mom?”
I didn’t know how to answer her.
My name is Nora, and I am raising four children on my own. Jenilyn is the youngest. I had to stop working full-time so I could take care of her. My other children are staying with my aunt and uncle while we are in the hospital. I take temporary jobs whenever I can, and my sister and our relatives help us, but the expenses have become more than we can manage.
We need funds for Jenilyn’s chemotherapy and hospital treatment. I cannot cover these costs alone. Please help us.
My little girl loves to draw and dreams of becoming a doctor. She says that when she gets better, she wants to treat other children with cancer without asking them for money.
I want so badly to see her grow up. To see her follow that dream after everything she has been through.
Please donate to Jenilyn’s treatment. Help me keep the promise I made to my daughter.
If you cannot donate, please share her story and keep her in your prayers. Thank you to everyone who chooses to stand with us.
Nora, Jenilyn’s mother

Ma, pagod na po ako. Mahal na mahal kita. Alagaan mo po nang mabuti ang mga ate at kuya ko.”
Siyam na taong gulang pa lamang ang anak kong si Jenilyn. Nang marinig ko ang mga salitang iyon mula sa kanya, hindi ko alam kung paano ko kakayanin ang sakit. Sinabi ko sa kanya na patuloy siyang lumaban. Nangako ako na hahanap ako ng mga taong makakatulong sa amin. Ngayon, lumalapit ako sa inyo dahil sa pangakong iyon.
Anim na taong gulang pa lamang si Jenilyn nang magsimula siyang lumaban sa acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Ngayon, bumalik ang kanser at naapektuhan na rin ang kanyang central nervous system. Sinabi ng mga doktor na kailangan naming kumilos agad.
Tatlong linggo siyang nanatili sa ospital para sa chemotherapy. Tatlong araw lamang kaming nakauwi bago siya muling dinala sa ospital dahil sa lagnat at malulubhang sugat sa kanyang bibig. Sobrang sakit nito kaya halos hindi niya maibuka ang kanyang bibig. Sa ngayon, binibigyan siya ng antibiotics at pansamantalang ipinagpaliban ang kanyang chemotherapy dahil sa kanyang kondisyon.
Matapos ang napakaraming procedure, natatakot na ang anak ko sa mga karayom. Kapag hindi makahanap ang mga doktor ng maayos na ugat sa kanyang mga braso, kailangan nilang ilagay ang IV sa kanyang mga binti. Umiiyak siya sa sakit, at nananatili lang ako sa tabi niya, walang magawa para alisin ang sakit na nararamdaman niya.
“Bakit ako, Ma?”
Hindi ko alam kung paano siya sasagutin.
Ang pangalan ko ay Nora, at mag-isa kong pinalalaki ang apat kong anak. Si Jenilyn ang bunso. Kinailangan kong tumigil sa full-time na trabaho upang maalagaan siya. Ang iba kong mga anak ay pansamantalang inaalagaan ng aking tiyahin at tiyuhin habang nasa ospital kami. Kumukuha ako ng pansamantalang trabaho kapag may pagkakataon, at tumutulong din ang aking kapatid at iba naming kamag-anak, ngunit hindi na namin kayang tustusan ang lahat ng gastusin.
Kailangan namin ng pondo para sa chemotherapy at pagpapagamot ni Jenilyn sa ospital. Hindi ko kayang sagutin nang mag-isa ang mga gastusing ito. Nakikiusap po ako sa inyong tulungan kami.
Mahilig gumuhit ang aking munting anak at pangarap niyang maging doktor. Sinasabi niya na kapag gumaling siya, gusto niyang gamutin ang ibang mga batang may cancer nang hindi humihingi ng bayad.
Gustong-gusto kong makita siyang lumaki. Gusto kong makita siyang matupad ang pangarap na iyon matapos ang lahat ng pinagdaanan niya.
Nakikiusap po ako, mag-donate kayo para sa pagpapagamot ni Jenilyn. Tulungan ninyo akong tuparin ang pangakong ginawa ko sa aking anak.
Kung hindi po kayo makapag-donate, mangyaring ibahagi ang kanyang kuwento at isama siya sa inyong mga panalangin. Maraming salamat sa bawat taong pinipiling tumayo at lumaban kasama namin.
Nora, ina ni Jenilyn
