Boy from Mindoro celebrates first holiday without sickness.
(From Philippine Daily Inquirer)
Byline: Mei Magsino
THE LONG wait was over. For the first time, the holidays were a joyful one for the Ruga family, which lost a daughter in a suicide bombing in Haifa, Israel 16 months ago.
Leonardo Mampusti, now five, and a son of a caregiver in Israel, was successfully operated on for his congenital heart disease, thanks to help from donors who read his story in the Inquirer.
But mounting bills threatened his chance to celebrate his first Christmas and New Year out of the hospital.
The family's savings and a P200,000-donation from businessman Jolly Ting had made his surgery possible in October last year. But the boy's recovery became uncertain, prompting his doctors to make him stay longer in the hospital.
Another businessman from Quezon City, who learned of the boy's ordeal, sold his US dollar savings and wrote a P100,000-check to help pay for the bills.
