The mother of 1-year-and-5-month old twins from Brgy.
2, Hinigaran town, in Negros Occidental who were diagnosed to have
severe pneumonia at the Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial Regional
Hospital in Bacolod City is seeking the help of DAILY STAR readers
for the medication of the pair.
Jelly Tabuada, 29, a jobless mother of twins
Marjorie and Marjelly, said her twins need medicines for their continued
cough and fever but the meager income of her husband, 34-year-old
Michael, as a fisherman is not enough to sustain the babies' medication.
She said she brought the twins first to the Hinigaran
Emergency Clinic but later transferred them to CLMMRH where they
stayed from Feb. 22 to 28. The babies were confined again last week
and discharged Friday.
Any help for the twins may be coursed through the
DAILY STAR office.*GCT
