They were good at criss-crossing the street while eluding speeding cars. They were good at running away from cops who wanted to pick them up for vagrancy.
They were good at looking pitiful and cajoling pedestrians into buying the sampaguita (native Philippine flowers) they sell on the street.
And sell they must.
Or else they starve.
For selling sampaguita was the only thing that kept them and their mother alive. Barely existing, terribly malnourished, but alive nonetheless.
Their mother couldn’t help them. Her tuberculosis was so far advanced she could barely move from their home.
And “home” means a shanty on the sidewalk along West Avenue, Quezon City.
Long abandoned by their father, Atoy and Jinggo got another low blow in life when their mother died on the street.
Jodean Sola, Director of He Cares Foundation, came to their lives just in time. (He Cares is one of the independent ministries being supported by your Kerygma Family. I’ve been working with Jodean for 25 years now.)
Today, Atoy and Jinggo are still being ministered to in He Cares Foundation. And about three hundred other streetchildren.
They need help. They need love. They need your support.
So on September 22, we are holding a fund-raising concert in PICC plenary hall for the benefit of the streetchildren of He Cares Foundation. Your buying a ticket or two will mean full meals for one week for Atoy and Jinggo.
You can ask your friends to also buy concert tickets, so that we’ll have more meals for all other kids of He Cares Foundation for many other weeks.
And as you help these kids, I personally guarantee you an evening of joy.
Because I will be there too—to perform with all my heart (ahem).
And our Kerygma 5 preachers will be singing too. And so will other talented artists who volunteered their time and talents to raise funds for Atoy and Jinggo and many other streetchildren.
To purchase your tickets, email Rem at remlopez@gmail.com or call her up at Tel. 0915-4239248.
