The right tools and support during childhood can really set people up for incredible success in their lives. And for our first Weekly 1000, we’re giving two beautiful boys the exact tools that they need! Joaquin and Cecilio are 4 and 6 years old, and suffer from autism and intellectual disability.

Here’s what their mom had to say:

“We genuinely appreciate it and yes, video recordings with their therapies will be regularly sent. With Project Nightfall’s help, they can get started with their therapies and my dream of seeing them be independent, great and kind individuals are now possible. You are truly changing lives!”

With our help these boys will be started off on 3 to 4 months of behavioral, speech and occupational therapy each, which will shape their lives forever!

Millions of children with disabilities struggle to fit into their environments. By getting them the right therapy, we are humbled to help these two boys grow and transform! Thank you Nightfam, remember that by watching our videos you help us save lives.

The little boy named Sky is a twin to another little boy. His brother is in better health, but Sky has been diagnosed with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD), Noonan Syndrome, and undescended testis. He would need open heart surgery among others. The operations themselves are already very expensive but before even reaching that stage, Sky has to go through series of laboratory tests first.

Sky’s mother has reached out to us seeking for financial assistance so she can have Sky tested further. In addition, she was hoping to buy maintenance medicines, vitamins, and home oxygen for her little heart warrior as he goes through his battle.

Here is what the mother has to say:

“Thank you for always sharing your blessings with the people who are in need. Stay safe!”

“…next week [we’ll] confirm the schedule of his 2d echo. So far Baby Sky is doing well and we bought him his maintenance, his milk and diapers. We also bought him new clothes. Also we bought him his oxygen, for home use. Thank you so much for your help.”

As of 2015, 5 to 10 incidences of CHD were recorded for every 1000 births in the Philippines where Sky is from. We are hopeful that our donation could help him overcome his sickness and we look forward for him to have a healthier life ahead.

Although he’s only a teenager, Lochan is facing a serious challenge – to live longer, he needs a new kidney. It may still take a while for his surgery but while waiting, he just needs to make sure that he never misses his dialysis.

Lochan comes from a tiny village in India. He moved to the city on his own to attend classes and dialysis sessions. He sent his application and was thankfully chosen for the 2nd week’s Project Nightfall Philanthropy giveaway!

Here’s what he had to say:

“I am so glad to inform you that I received your donation. I can’t express what it means to me at this time of crisis. Thank you so much!.”

He shared that the $1000 will give him a chance to live! It’ll help him not to lose faith in his struggle. He believes he’ll come out of this tough phase, study well, and will support his family.

Nightfam, you made this possible! Together, you help us with this mission of saving lives and giving hope. Thank you for staying with us!

Mwana Afuunde Meal is a feeding programme for underprivileged children based in Zambia. The group goes to learning centers to provide meals for school kids. The reason behind the programme is simple but also makes perfect sense – a nutritious meal can allow a student to fully participate in the classroom. With an empty stomach, it is hard for a child to learn.

Its CEO, Felix Alitili reached out to Project Nightfall so 500 school children in the community can be fed for a school year. According to him, more than half of the children in his community come to school with little or no food for breakfast, just chewing some bush fruits if they find any on the way to school.

Here is what Felix has to say:

“It will greatly make an impact for these children and the community alone. These are communities that literally have nothing. They don’t even make $2 a day and [$1000] will make a very big impact.”

It’s unimaginable how far the $1000 could go! Nightfam, this is once again a reminder of how humbling your support is. By watching our videos, you are helping us feed these children not for a day, or a month, but a schoolyear.
