00:00At the back of the crowd, there's a smiling young man who's just a 2-year-old boy.
00:11He's literally growing up in his own little world.
00:15That's why he asked his parents for help from the GMA Kapuso Foundation.
00:21As soon as he hears the music, the 2-year-old boy, Ash, starts crying.
00:27So who would have thought that he's crying because of a bump on his neck and on his side.
00:33His days with his bumps are coming to an end.
00:37There are times when his bumps are wrinkled, and there are times when they're not.
00:43Like last time, he was crying because of his bumps.
00:48He was pointing his hand at a part of his bum.
00:52From Cagayan Valley, the family traveled to Manila to have Ash operated on.
00:58Ash's father, Hill, was willing to do anything to support his son's treatment.
01:06But he's only earning P500 per day as a truck driver.
01:25That's why they approached the GMA Kapuso Foundation.
01:28And we immediately asked Ash to see a pediatric surgeon.
01:33Our diagnosis is cystic hygroma.
01:37It's an abnormality in the development of colon or lymph nodes.
01:42So instead of a small colon, it grew and became cystic.
01:47There are two treatments for cystic hygroma.
01:51Either we inject a medicine to shrink and remove the cystic.
01:59Or we remove the cystic by surgery.
02:03The Kapuso family wanted to help Ash with his operation.
02:08I asked for help to have the baby operated on.
02:15And for those who are willing to help,
02:17you can deposit in our bank accounts or send to Cebuan Lolier.
02:22You can also online via GCash, Shopee, Lazada, and Globe Rewards.
