Sister Josephine A. Aldep of the Carmelite Missionary Sisters shared a message of appreciation to MORE Power as the company turned over their support.
“We are always very happy whenever you visit us here every Christmas to show that you remember us and then bring us your gifts so we can also make others happy. For three years already, we are very happy that you have been very generous to us. I think not only us here but all those institutions that need your help. We pray that you will prosper in your endeavors, and we are always praying for your workers. We are assuring you of our prayers,” expressed Sister Aldep.
Another beneficiary is the Friends of Cancer Kids Iloilo Foundation, Inc. (FOCC).
“This is a big help sa amon foundation to continue our mission in helping children, because we survive on the generosity of companies and individuals like you, because we don’t have a real source of income, so for us to continue our mission dako gid ini nga bulig, dako dako gid, kay kun imaginon mo, if we buy one cup of coffee sa starbucks that could be a fare sang isa ka bata para makakadto siya sa hospital,” said FOCC’s Janice Luce Jimenez.
“So imaginon mo with the financial aid given to us kun pila ka kabataan ang maka continue sang ila nga chemo nila biskan sa plete na lang nila kag makakadto sila sa Hospital,” added Jimenez.
