Doreen Veloso Cuaresma is a close friend of mine and I have witnessed how she selflessly dedicated her life to her love ones. She juggled work & agencies, to baking & selling cakes/ desserts & did events decorating (prior pandemic) to finance the medical needs of her mother and education of her daughter in the Philippines.

At this point in her life I have seen how she's been trying to stay strong amidst all of what she's been going through.

Four years back her mother was PARALYSED due to stroke and became bed ridden since then. On June 2021, a devastating health report of her husband's Stage 4 LUNG and LIVER CANCER came unexpectedly, which led her to take a break from work to attend her husband Joecell's needs. And just yesterday, another extremely painful news she received back home, the sudden DEATH of her father due to COVID.

This fundraising would be of great help to ease some burden she has on her shoulder. With your financial support, this will allow her to give time to focus on inner healing and spend time with her husband. Every single pence is a substantial aid for Doreen's mother's medical maintenance, her daughter's education, and her father's burial cost.

No act of kindness, no matter how small is ever wasted. - AESOP.
