Blogging for a Cause Fund Raising Project
Last month, I already posted about my baby Bella’s health problem. Earlier this June 2010, we were able to confirm that Bella Grace, now nine months old, has hernia and the only solution to fix this congenital problem is via surgery.
Her surgical pedia doctor told us that we should prepare around 35,000 to 40,000 pesos (roughly $1000) to have her surgery done. This amount covers her three day ward accommodation, anesthesiologist, doctor’s fee and other miscellaneous hospital payments. At first, we thought we can get a discount from all of this if we apply my husband’s company insurance but unfortunately, congenital (existing medical conditions prior to birth) problems are not included with their insurance policy.
So, my husband and I decided that we will make a fund raising project (a term we use to save money) to raise money for Bella’s surgery. We will save up anything that we earn extra from our jobs, i.e. overtime pay, adsense earnings, extra work, blog hosting promo offers and contest winnings. Our goal is to have the money ready before December 2010, our target date for Bella’s surgery.
Then one time, Bella’s Godmother Pehpot and I were chatting online. She asked me about Bella’s situation and what are our plans about her surgery. When she heard about our fund raising projects and all services that I can do in exchange for service fees that we will save for Bella’s surgery fund, she offered help. She offered to manage a fund raising project online, which is now called “Blogging for a Cause.” I agreed to her idea because I know I can do online blog reviews and Marz Pehpot has the ability to get things organized and the talent to manage things (so kung mag-aartista si Bella, may manager na rin siya, LOL!).
After the chat, we continued our correspondence via email and talked about the idea. When I agreed, Marz Pehpot acted with haste. She immediately spread the word. After a few hours, Marz gave me the first batch of blogging for a cause orders. Praise God!!
Anyway, I am not yet finished with the first batch and the second batch is already on queue. I am so happy that many bloggers order a blog review. Not only that but many bloggers helped spread the word and extended their help financially!
Now, I wanna take this opportunity to thank all the Fund Donors to my Baby Bella’s Surgery Fund. I can’t thank you enough for all the help you have extended to my darling angel Bella Grace. Thank you very much and God bless all your generous heart.
I would like to thank Marz Pehpot for helping me raise funds for Bella and organizing “Blogging for a Cause.” I would also like to thank all the godparents of Bella Grace for helping Bella get her surgery as soon as possible. Thank you all for all the help, prayers, financial support and your blog orders. God bless you all!!

Hi, my name is not Kerslyn….my name is Bing, the author of I Love-Hate America who posted about your baby. You mistakenly called me Kerslyn…but it’s okay.
You know , I learned that you currently reside in Bacolod City, but if you are willing to go to Davao City for the operation, my best friend said that she will treat your baby’s condition for FREE….what do you think? Can you go to Davao City for the free operation?
