Single mom receives nebulizer for child with asthma from GMA Kapuso Foundation

It’s not easy being a single parent. For a mom caring for a child with asthma, it makes it twice as hard.

According to a “24 Oras” report Tuesday, Michelle Villela from Tagaytay City has been working tirelessly by doing laundry to raise her three children on her own. She suffered physical and verbal abuse from her former partners.

“Nadala na ako sa nangyari sa dalawang kinasama ko. Ang aral na natutunan ko sa pangyayari na ’yon ay ’wag basta-basta magtitiwala,” she said.

Michelle cares for her family with the help of her mother, who has Parkinson’s disease.

Apart from working to earn an income, she also has to take care of a son who suffers from asthma. They don’t have their own nebulizer so she borrows one from a relative.

She reached out to GMA Kapuso Foundation through Facebook to ask for help to provide groceries.

After getting her message, the team responded and brought not only grocery packs, but also vitamins, school supplies, and a new nebulizer.

GMA Kapuso Foundation accepts donations through bank deposits, Cebuana Lhuillier, Shopee, GCash, PayMaya, Zalora, MegaMart, Globe Rewards, Metrobank credit card, and Lazada.
