Allan Golosino, a 53-year old PWD, was set to move into a new house along with his parents and two children. The house was constructed by the St Vincent Ferrer Parish Team HALAD or Handumanan sa Ligdong mga Alagad sa Dios from TYF’s Super Typhoon Odette rehab funds, in partnership with the Diocese of Talibon Social Action Center (DSAC) in Bohol.
A day before the house was completed, Allan’s mother, 78 year old Nanay Catalina suddenly died from a heart attack. The family couldn’t afford to buy a coffin, so the construction team built one for her.
During the house blessing, Allan and his father look stunned. In all likelihood, their hearts were both full and empty at the same time.
Our thanks to the parish HALAD Providers team who brought grocery items, kitchen utensils, curtains and tablecloth, a Bible, and a crucifix. Daghang salamat to DSAC Director Fr Epifanio Gupita who blessed Nanay Catalina and the new house.
