A plea for a better sight… Posted on January 14, 2011 by pghmfi Hi Sir/Ma’am,

Good day!

I am Karen Lorico from Antipolo City, Philippines. I would like to seek help
from your organization
about my friend’s situation, Kristina Sano. Since birth, she has a cross
eyed deficiency. This was due to the medicine
intakes by her mother for a threatened abortion. But God is still good, she
survived, but she suffered badly
with that and developed crossed eyes. She was adopted by a distant relative
since birth. Their life is not
so fancy, but still, her family ensures that the basic needs are well
provided for. Despite their status in life,
her new family desires that she grows up like any normal kids despite her
deficiency. She was able to go to school, get high grades and even unleashed
a lot of talents while growing up. She has helped her family a lot around
the house. Upon graduation,
her only hope is to find a job so as to help her family with the house
expenses and not be a burden for them.

She got a secretariat job somewhere in intramuros before. She said she had a
great
time there because she was able to experience working as an individual and
also helped out her family. It was a bumpy road for her, she is not a
regular employee and also her salary is below the minimum. But still she
accepted the job since they are the only company that accepted her.

While in that job, she wants to deepen more her understanding on her purpose
in life. She got a flyer for a Christian Life Program
for Singles for Christ, a catholic renewal community. She finished the
program and eventually became a member of the community.
During that time, she was layed off from her job, partly because of her
deficiency also. But that’s a blessing for her in a way.

Truly she was gifted with a lot of talents. She blessed the community with
her talents to sing, dance and have that fire in serving
God. She has inspired a lot of people with her passion for service. I know
she is very fulfilled with her relationship with our God.
Up to present, she serves as a vocalist, a guitarist and one of the dancers
in our community. She has dedicated her life to God, setting aside her
financial concerns when attending services. Her older sister provides for
her transportation and food when she serves and sometimes her friends from
the community.

Having all these blessings and blessings she can give to the community and
family, she still wants to bless other people more.
She desires to have a regular job, get a salary to help her family, share in
the community and plan for her future. But companies won’t accept her
even for an administrative job. Her self esteem is very low because of her
eye defect, and she also developed a hearing
problem. She desires to have this corrected so she can live a normal life
and help out others as well but their family’s finances cannot
provide for an operation or surgery since the basic needs is more important
to attend to.

I personally would like to ask for help from your foundation to help in this
cause for Tina. The correction of her
eyes and also correction of her hearing problem will be beneficial for her,
her family and the community.

Thank you for taking time to read this e-mail and hoping for a positive
response on this cause;
and at the same time make a difference for a gifted person like Tina.

More power to your organization! Godbless!

Best Regards,

Karen Lorico
