he needs after being diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome associated
with cough and fever, at the Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial
Regional Hospital in the city.
Anita Planta, 37, mother of Tommy, 4, said her
son is set to undergo ultrasound today and she needs money for medicines,
and for other laboratory tests.
She added that Tommy is suffering from swelling
of the face, both arms, and lower extremities which, according to
physicians, are manifestations of a problem in the kidney.
Aside from Tommy, she said she has two other children
- a 21-year-old married daughter and a 12-year-old son. She also
said that her income as a laundrywoman is not enough, and she is
