She undergoes radiation therapy at the Lung Center of the Philippines every day. Each session costs P5,000, leaving her with no money for extra expenses such as tricycle fare so she walks almost 2 kilometers daily from Child Haus to LCP.
Her doctor said it was important for these tests to be done as soon as possible because, during a recent checkup, small lumps were found in her left breast. Since she has been jobless for the past three years, Vargas depends on her parents and relatives for financial support. But she also goes to different government agencies like the Department of Social Welfare and Development and mayors’ offices to ask for donations for her medical expenses. At present, Child Haus can provide her only shelter and vitamins.
