Ziv's In The Pink Today!
Spent my Saturday afternoon at Philippine Children's Medical Center with Grace, Migs, Tatum, Jun and Ziv. Ziv is an 11-year old kid suffering from a rare disease called Blue Rubber Nevus Syndrome. It's a blood disease that requires her to have three blood transfusions a week. If they have the money, shet gets it, but at times that they don't, well, she doesn't.
We tried to make Ziv smile this one day by visiting her and giving her presents. Grace asked for donations from a few of our friends and colleagues who wanted to make Ziv a little more happy. She was able to raise P15,000 -- which would be considered a small amount by most of you but would sure go a long way to Ziv and her family. Jun and I also donated blood yesterday -- one bag each, so that makes one unit of blood just for Ziv :-D
I just wanted to let this out -- I am [in her words] "oh so proud" of my friend Grace for doing this for Ziv. What, with her busy schedule and all, she still made time and made one little girl feel loved.
