Little Kuji has Tuberculosis plus Asthma (part 5)
Bantayan Island, Philippines: a friend of mine on the Island has donated food for Kuji who is sick

A remarkable and unexpected act of kindness has happened the other day, when a foreign national living here came to visit me at my cottage while I was editing images of little Kuji in Photoshop, and I was explaining about how sick he was while at the same time being diagnosed as malnourished, etc. (see Kuji's other posts below)
During the visit I was explaining how I was trying to figure out how I could supply him with enough nutrition to slowly bring him out of a malnourished state, so that his body could better fight off the effects of his TB and asthma, and my friend was totally taken with all of Kuji's images I was showing him.
My friend soon excused himself, then returned about 10 minutes later and explained that he absolutely wanted to help this child, but also wanted to remain anonymous on the website (he didn't want others suddenly coming to him for money while he was here, should his name be used)
I told him no problem at all, and that he could do whatever he felt like doing for Kuji and his Family, and he then put P2,000 (a little over $40USD) into my hand, telling me to do what I needed to do with it, I was stunned...I had not expected anything like that; I thought maybe he wanted to buy a few medicines or something similar...)
He smiled a big smile, and the next day I drove up to my Doctors Office in Bantayan Town and asked if Kuji could drink the baby milk that so many other children take here on a daily basis, and my Doctor said absolutely YES - it would be perfect for him in the malnourished state he was in.
I then drove back into town and went straight to the local Pharmacy, and bought up as many boxes of AlactaGrow Milk as I could, and I came away with 18 boxes which is enough for little over a month, at 3 to 4 servings a day.
The boxes were packed into plastic bags and attached to my motorcycle, and I went off to see Kuji & Mama Helen's Family, and you should have seen all the smiles on their faces as I explained the story.
They really wanted to know who gave that much money for baby milk, and I told Kuji's Mother Jen & her mother Mama Helen that it was simply a friend of mine who saw Kuji's images on my laptop, decided to help him & didn't want any publicity about it:)
At least I can breathe easier for this month - and I wish I had more friends here like my friend from Europe who saw a need with a poor child who's sick, just by seeing my images of him.
Thank you my good friend - I'll keep your secret because I know you read my website, but you need to know that Kuji's Family loves you for being so kind to them for what you did!
Thanks for reading today,
