Something for Mylene

Last May 2008, Mylene was diagnosed with breast cancer. Through prayers, plus the support of family and friends, she will make it through this.

But it's going to be a long journey and she needs our help, just a little bit from all of us.

Yes, I mean money.

Mylene can't afford the treatment on her own. And it's not like someone will come along and say "Hey, Mylene, we'll take care of everything! Don't worry about the expenses!" Or maybe someone will. But in the meantime, this idea came to mind:

What if we each give just a little bit?

I'd like to help Mylene but I can only do so much on my own.

But what if each one gave just a little bit?
And what if there were a lot of us giving just a little bit?

Surely, that will amount to something.

So here I am...

In early 2009, Mylene reached out to OurOwnLittleWay to find other means and ways to cover the cost of her ongoing treatment. If I can help her get in touch with friends and relatives who each give a little help, Mylene will be able to continue her treatment.

Pitch In.

Give something. Any amount will do, 100 pesos, 500 pesos, a thousand, maybe more.

Give something that's easy on your pocket.
Give something that comes fully from your heart.
Give just a little bit so you can help someone else tomorrow.

I don't want this to be a burden to anyone. We all have our own share of problems to deal with. Fact is, Mylene has gone through much of this without involving others because she doesn't want to be a burden to anyone either. Her family will be with her all throughout this ordeal. And maybe, in our own little way, we can do something for her, too.

For now, this is all for Mylene. But next time, it could be for somebody else.

The main premise here is to get a little help from a lot of people to help one person.

Today, we help Mylene. Tomorrow, we hope to help someone else.

This is our own little way.
