Grace To Be Born Handmade Cards

Grace to be born is a shelter for mothers who in one point or another considered abortion. Some of the cases in the shelter includes gang rape, teen age pregnancy, sexual abuse and incest.

The shelter accommodates them and nurture them (spiritually, physically and emotionally) until they give birth. After that, they can decide weather to bring the baby home or leave it in the shelter for adoption or leave the baby and get them back when they can.

The shelter runs through donations and also make some money by selling hand made cards:

Each card is P75, 1/3 goes to the shelter, 1/3 to the materials and 1/3 to the mother who made it. The money were used to support them (in a way) after they leave the shelter.

You can help these moms and the shelter by buying these cards or giving financial assistance.

You can visit them at 53 Dr. Sixto Antonio Ave., Kapasigan Pasig City (across Meralco Pasig branch office).

Grace To Be Born Birthday Project

You know what’s the best part of our Birthday Project? The opportunity given to us to share our blessings and help other people in ways we can.. So thank you everyone for helping us with our Birthday Project.

I am overwhelmed with the support we received, coming from our friends and big companies, so before anything else, allow me to mention again the companies and bloggers behind the success of our birthday project:

ZoWanderer
I Love Keisha
Lovingly Mama
Mommy Peach
Mum-Writes
Willa
Yami
Manette

..and an anonymous person also sent some money (which Levy used to buy milk for babies).

I really enjoyed our day at the shelter, but my kids were the happiest! They can’t get enough of the kids and the babies.. and now they want to go back to the shelter soon!

Syempre, kame din ni Levy nag enjoy, specially that the moms at the shelter are all game in joining all the fun.

And I have to thank Fedhz and Richard for spending the afternoon with us (sana nag enjoy din kayo)

We had games such as Pinoy Henyo, charades and hep hep hurray! Sorry no photos during the games, bawal kuhanan ng pics ang mga moms since their cases are really sensitive. Magsawa na lang kayo sa mukha namin ni Levy haha

From our blogger friends, we were able to raise 8000+ PhP (2000 were used for the milk) but one anonymous check holder signed (without forcing him to.. haha)for a 10K PhP check.. Sana next year pang 100K PhP na ang birthday ko haha

Yes, I am planning to do this yearly. At first, I thought of looking for another shelter or orphanage for next year’s birthday project, pero wala eh.. napalapit na sa puso ko ang Grace to be born..

Mommy Pehpot and Mommy Levy’s Birthday Project Update

Less than two weeks to go and my excitement is killing me!

Today, my box from the US arrived!! yay!!! this box was filled with (OK half of it) 2nd hand baby clothes I bought (through my kumare) from Decatur..online and offline yard sale.. that’s the power of internet to you haha

We have sponsorssss! (yes take note of the S! haha) Say hello! and a huge thanks to these companies for supporting this cause:

Unilab is a trusted company when it comes to vitamins for kids and medicine for fever and so we asked them if they can provide Ceelin and Tiki Tiki for babies, Biogesic For infant and adults and they said YES! Thank you so much Unilab and to the person that made this sponsorship possible (waves at Roche!)

I have mentioned before, my partnership with Pampers(and the huge amount of diapers they gave me) inspired me (along with Please Be Careful birthday episode) to start this project but we didn’t stopped there.. Grace to be Born needs diaper and more than that. Knowing that Procter & Gamble being a household name for soap, shampoo, detergent (and of course diaper), we asked them to be a part of this project by sponsoring some of their products.. and it was a YES! Thank you P&G and to my fellow elbizen (Moe!).

Pascual Labs is very close to my heart… err, they were the one that made me famous LOL.. C-Lium ad? remember? hahaha

Grace to be Born houses pregnant women (serves as a temporary shelter for the unwed mothers and an orphanage for the children born there) and they encourage mothers to breastfeed their babies.. and we know that Pascual’s Pro-Lacta is the pioneer when it comes to malunggay tablet (helps in milk production), and Pascual Labs was very generous to provide some boxes of Pro-Lacta and some Lagundi bottles. Thank you Pascual Labs (and Diana..amishu!)

Blogger friends are very supportive too!

Thank you Zowanderer and I Love Keisha for joining this project 🙂

It’s not too late for you to be a part of this project 🙂 if you have money to spare, thank you in advance 🙂 my paypal is cata_pineda at yahoo.com
