20 October 2023 Children from along Train Railways Muntinlupa City The Chummy Chum Foundation Philippines Inc. went back to meet the children from along the train railways of Muntinlupa City, for another round of Feeding Program. The last couple of programs were in August. They indeed belonged to the poorest of the poor whose only hope every time they woke up in the morning was food. Hunger is what they conquer every day. They also have this simple wish of having a simple playable toy and snacks for school. This is why the Chummy Chum team always prepares something for them, at least once or twice a month, something that the children can look forward to. This time, the team prepared for 100 children. A set of sandwiches and juice for snacks for every child, yummy assorted imported chocolates, toys, and pre-loved items that were shared by different individuals. It is worth mentioning how we were surprised by one of the volunteer donors from abroad. She told us to pick up pre-loved items for the children, and to our surprise, it was a big bag full packed of chocolates. Everything was successfully shared with the children, and the rest was just heart-warming joyful memories. Big thanks to Ms. Jeanette for her generosity. Special thanks to WeCarePH and the SM Store.

It has been a wonderful decade since Chummy Chum collaborated with the GMA Kapuso Foundation on the mission of helping unwell indigent children. On this day, the event was called Kapuso Cancer Champion. Just before the program started, a brief orientation by one of the doctors about understanding the special needs of the little cancer warrior, focusing on their diet, and what to and not to eat. This kind of event happens every year, but to make this year more special than the previous years, the organizers chose to hold the program at a popular children’s play zone – Kidzoona, in Sta. Mesa, Manila. The children were certainly filled with joy, overwhelmed by this one-of-a-kind experience. They had fun playing, eating, and dancing with Chummy Chum. At the end of the program, the children received gifts from Chummy Chum such as prescribed formula milk, education materials, toys, and Chummy Chum’s very own coloring book, stuffed toys, and wristbands. It was just a spectacular day, and Chummy Chum is always honored and pleased to join the GMA Kapuso Foundation in this kind of charity mission for children who are bravely fighting cancer.

For 17 years, Chummy Chum has been a frequent visitor in this hospital, surprising the children who are having medical check-ups at the OPD, as well as the children who are confined in the charity ward. On April 20, 2011, the Ospital ng Tondo received a brand new infant incubator as a donation from the Chummy Chum Foundation with free maintenance and repair services.

Sampaloc Paranaque City Despite the odds that the Chummy Chum Foundation has been facing in the last couple of weeks, the team did not hesitate to bring help to the most in need, especially if there are children suffering from hunger and difficulties. The team conducted a feeding program for the old and young, and brought gifts, yummy treats, and toys for the children. A simple act of sharing had a great positive impact on the victims as they felt the love and care at the time they needed to feel it the most. The evacuation area where the fire victims were temporarily sheltered is a mini-multipurpose hall of the community. The electricity was shut caused of the fire, and the power supply was neither functioning, thus, making the venue a bit dark and hot. The depressing aura in the venue changed as soon as the Chummy Chum team stepped in and started to set up the table with food and gifts. The children were very happy to see lots of toys in front of them, with the opportunity to pick a toy of their choice. . That very moment, it was just a bowl of spaghetti, a cup of cold fruit juice, a piece of toy, and a yummy treat, that somehow made the fire victims smile, a good start to cope, forget the tragic event that made their lives even harder, and live a fresh start. Special thanks to Clearlogic Inc., for letting the team use their company van, Mam Thaly for a share of food, Tramo Central PH, WeCarePH, MX3 for food items, and The SM Store for the wonderful toys for the children.
