Shirley Padua broke down in tears when she remembered Daisy, her daughter who passed away due to complications from beta thalassemia on May 12 this year. Her other child, Jimboy, is battling the same ailment as well.

Asked about his sister’s passing, Jimboy became emotional. “I was very sad because she is the only sibling I have and I lost her,” he said.

Padua said her son must also undergo chelation every day, as advised by his doctor, to remove the excess iron from his heart and bloodstream. His medicines for chelation are deferiprone, which is taken orally, and deferoxamine, three vials of which must be injected into his abdomen. Padua earns around P500 to P600 a week as a seamstress. She works from home, with the permission of her boss, to care for Jimboy. Her husband, on the other hand, is a bus conductor who earns P10,000 a month. Their joint income can barely cover their son’s medications costing P127,500 monthly, she said.
