Little by Little- Tahanan

As of this quarter, a total of forty (40) children have directly benefited from the comprehensive care and protection programs provided by the facility. Through these services, the children were safeguarded from all forms of abuse and supported in maintaining their health and well-being. Among the new admissions was a three-month-old baby boy who had previously spent several months in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). With the onset of colder weather, children—particularly those with a history of respiratory conditions—required increased medical attention and monitoring.

During the reporting period, twenty-nine (29) children received routine monthly clinic visits, follow-ups, and medical checkups.

• One infant with recurrent pneumonia was hospitalized, treated, and successfully discharged after five (5) days.
• Twelve (12) babies and toddlers developed skin rashes and were immediately isolated and closely monitored by a Registered Nurse, preventing complications.
• Cough, colds, and fever were the most common illnesses observed. Five (5) children  who exhibited deep and shallow breathing required ongoing respiratory management and maintenance medications, including Seretide, Budesonide, and Duavent /Salbutamol nebulization. All prescribed medicines were readily available, and continuous consultations with pediatricians and pulmonologists ensured proper care.
• One infant continues to receive heart maintenance medication (Memorex) and vitamins, while another toddler was cleared by a cardiologist to discontinue heart medication after a normal 2D Echo, with an ECG still recommended for monitoring.

Eighteen (18) children are currently enrolled in school, ranging from daycare to first year of high school. In addition, several children previously under the program were successfully reintegrated with their parents or relatives, and one child found a permanent, loving home through adoption.

Despite ongoing health challenges, Tahanan ng Pagmamahal remains steadfast in upholding the children’s rights to survival, development, and protection.

These life-saving and life-changing programs are made possible only through the continued generosity, compassion, and commitment of our donors. We are deeply grateful for your unwavering support and love that enables us to provide medical care, education, and a safe environment where every child can heal, grow, and thrive.
