I have not seen Ann personally for months now. I was supposed to see her last December to watch Rurouni Kenshin but I wasn't able to attend and had to watch it on a different theatre that day. However, during that day, we heard a sad news from her.
That day, her mom was confined to a hospital due to mild stroke. She wanted to be with her at the hospital but her Mom insisted that she go to the movie day anyway - probably, to make things lighter for the family. We were really saddened by that news because we know how worried Ann is for her mom's health - probably putting her own health issues aside. That would also mean they are at risk of losing the only stable source of income the family currently has with her mom working as a chef . She would most probably be needing a break from work after what happened.
At this moment, I am not aware if she has gotten back to work. As for Ann, she still continues to receive dialysis every Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. For the next three (3) months, paying them wouldn't be much of an issue because she has already claimed a renewed benefit of 45 dialysis sessions from PhilHealth.
In terms of our fund, we are not moving on. We are still stuck at Php47,800. I hope more people will see this blog and help Ann so she recovers faster.
I hope this year will be a good year for Ann. I hope everything turns out okay and she will be able to get back to the IT work force soon to provide for herself and her family.
