FBM Foundation partners with Hands of God Charity Works to help 30 'Cancer Warriors' initiative in Cavite City

FBM Foundation has joined the second anniversary of the Hands of God Charity Works Cavite Chapter by actively participating in a local solidarity initiative involving 30 'Cancer Warriors'.

The event took place on July 21 at the Dr. Jose P. Rizal Elementary School in Dasmariñas, Cavite City, and highlighted the FBM Foundation's ongoing commitment to social responsibility and humanitarian aid, according to a press statement.

Hands of God Charity Works is a non-governmental organization that describes itself as dedicated to "connecting and valuing all lives." The group comprises private volunteers, and shares time, talent, and effort to serve others, providing basic education, nourishment, family care, and support for the elderly, disabled, and ill. Their mission includes offering care through rehabilitation, medical missions, gift-giving, and education. 

FBM Foundation joined the Hands of God Charity Works with a special event honoring the 30 'Cancer Warriors' from various parts of Cavite’s Province. 

The Foundation brought a team of 14 dedicated volunteers supervised by the Community Service Project Coordinator, Lulu Barreras, to materialize a donation involving medical materials, grocery packs, and the food costs of the event.

The initiative aimed to "recognize the bravery of these 30 citizens battling cancer and offer them much-needed support in different areas," the Foundation said. FBM Foundation offered food catering for the event’s feast and 30 grocery packs including rice, assorted canned goods, eggs, noodles, diapers, and milk.

Besides the food aid, FBM Foundation delivered 3,000 unities of medication or vitamins to the beneficiaries in gift certificates and donated medical equipment and supplies (wheelchairs for adults and children, adult walkers, units of nebulizers, boxes with medical gloves, suction catheters, Leukoplast Tape Browns, pieces of NGT, suction tips, suction machines, gauze pads, colostomy bags and underpads, and gallons of alcohol).

Vitor Francisco, Director at FBM Foundation, said: “It is very fulfilling to be part of such an initiative with the power to impact decisively the well-being of 30 brave citizens battling against a cancer diagnosis. This coordinated effort between organizations shows that when we stand together, we are stronger, more resilient, and better equipped to build a healthier and more compassionate world for all.”

The initiative counted on the FBM Foundation’s support as the primary sponsor and gathered contributions from several other entities that joined the celebration. "This network effect highlighted the strength of unity and showed how working together can have a real impact on facing health challenges," the Foundation said.
