Transcript

00:00150 liver transplants were successfully done for children and babies with biliary atresia.

00:09This was done with the help of Congressman Erwin Tulfo and a hospital in India.

00:14This is what Sujin Kim reported.

00:17Aloysa did not feel any fear when her daughter, Mico, started bleeding.

00:23She was shocked to discover that her daughter has liver disease.

00:27I feel like there's no hope.

00:30It's so painful.

00:32It's like you can't understand how it feels.

00:36It's really painful.

00:37Because in your mind, you just thought that the pain of being able to take medicine is okay.

00:42But when it comes to transplant, you don't know what to do at that time.

00:48It's good that Aloysa has a strong foundation that gave her a lot of help and support,

00:54especially as a single mom.

00:56We did some research on Facebook.

00:58We found out that there are groups like this.

01:02That's what helped us.

01:05This is also what happened to Nanay Lagrimas.

01:08Baby Trisha was only 3 months old when she noticed that her baby's light was still on.

01:13It's like heaven and earth gave birth to me.

01:16Trisha was a baby when she was diagnosed.

01:20She needs a liver transplant so that she can survive.

01:28The Lagrimas family is grateful for the help of Congressman Erwin Tulfo and the hospital in India

01:35to successfully carry out 150 liver transplants for children and babies with biliary atresia.

01:42Through my advocacy, I have been blessed with the opportunity to directly impact lives for life-saving liver transplants.

01:52I have seen children who were once frail and suffering now brimming with life and energy.

02:00I have seen parents once gripped by fear and uncertainty now filled with hope and gratitude.

02:07It has been one of the most fulfilling endeavors of my life.

02:12The foundation and Tulfo's goal is to save the lives of children affected by a serious condition of the liver.

02:19Every transplant is part of a life saved and a family given new hope.

02:26Ensuring that no children or no child is left without the care they desperately need.

02:33This celebration is also a call to action.

02:36It is a reminder of the importance of accessible health care for all.

02:42No family should have to choose between financial stability and the health of their child.

02:50The Philanthropic team is proud of their continued achievement in their mission

02:55of providing world-class health care to children in need.
