For nearly 50 years, Kapwa Ko Mahal Ko (KKMK) has been a steadfast source of hope for underprivileged Filipinos battling life-threatening illnesses. At the heart of our mission lies Batang Kapwa (BK)—a program launched in 1989 to provide holistic support to children diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). Through financial assistance, emotional care, and community-building activities, BK has transformed the lives of young warriors and their families, offering them a fighting chance against this formidable disease. A Tough Diagnosis, a Tougher Journey ALL primarily affects children under 10 and is one of the most common forms of pediatric cancer. In the Philippines, 14 children are diagnosed with cancer every day, with more than half battling ALL. Treatment offers hope, but it comes at a steep cost. Chemotherapy, which spans 120 weeks for girls and 140 weeks for boys, can cost families upwards of Php 950,000—far beyond what many can afford. Even with assistance from government programs like PhilHealth's Z Package (covering Php 500,000), the financial gap often leaves families in debt and struggling to sustain treatment. How Batang Kapwa Makes a Difference This is where Batang Kapwa steps in as a lifeline. Our program bridges the gap by providing financial and emotional support that empowers young patients and their families to endure the challenges of treatment. Here’s how your donations directly support Batang Kapwa: - Medical Assistance: Subsidizing chemotherapy and related medical care. - Psycho-Social Support: Group activities and counseling to uplift the spirits of young cancer warriors. - Family Outreach: Guidance and counseling to build resilience among parents and caregivers. - Education: Support for children unable to attend school during treatment. - Awareness Campaigns: Promoting early detection of childhood cancer to improve survival rates. Your Role in This Mission The ongoing success of Batang Kapwa is made possible by the generosity of people like you. Your donations have the power to transform lives—helping children complete their treatment, achieve their dreams, and inspire others with their resilience. Every peso counts. Together, we can turn despair into hope and give these young warriors a chance at a brighter, healthier future. Donate now to be a part of their journey
