Faces of Healing and Hope

Children recovering from a terminal disease such as cancer are an inspiration, not only to their families but also to their entire communities.  Asia America Initiative has brought together doctors, nurses, volunteers and donors who hail from many walks of life and numerous cultures.  In Davao, Philippines, the House of Hope is a center to sustain life for hundreds of children each year though its partner medical center, the Children's Cancer Inistute within the Southern Philippines Medical Center, the largest public hospital in Mindanao.  SPMC is the the only such medical facility for a population base of over 25 million people that has the ability to provide pediatric cancer treatment and long-term multi-specialty care.  

In addition, AAI has been supporting clusters of child patients with rare genetic diseases in Manila at the Philippine Society for Orphan Disorders and individual cases, such as Baby Brielle, in the Central Region of Visayas. We are happy to report that 9 months following Brielle's liver transplant surgery, her health condition has stabilized and she is a fully active little girl.  Her Mother, Lissette, has a profound gratefulness to our GlobalGiving donors across the world whose contributions and prayers led to a wonderful recovery for little Brielle.  Her Mom, who was the liver donor to save her daughter's life, is also doing well and is now continuing her education to be a pediatric medical doctor.  

"We are so blessed to have friends around the world," says Lissette, "who have provided the essential support to make God's miracle of life for my child possible.   My family thanks you from the bottom of of our hearts."
