You Keep Their Dreams Alive

Dennis has a dream—and you’re keeping it alive.
He’s a scholar of our Pag-asa ng Pamilya Scholarship Foundation, one of the 7 ministries of KerygmaFamily.
He was a consistent honor student in his elementary school years and was enjoying life, having a happy childhood.
Then a series of tragedies struck.
His mother died of breast cancer.
Soon after that, his father abandoned them.
Then his older sister got married and stopped supporting Dennis.
Temporary relief came when his godmother adopted him and transferred him to another school.
Through God’s grace, he was able to finish high school.
But graduation did not bring him any joy.
Because while everybody else was celebrating after the graduation rites, he was there on a little corner, brooding, as he thought he had reached a dead end in his education. “There was no way I could enter college,” he said to himself.
Why? Because his godmother had also stopped supporting him—because she had no more livelihood. That was when Dennis became a prayerful person, as God became his last resort.
But God wasn’t finished providing for Dennis.
One of his teachers referred him to Pag-asa ng Pamilya.
The Foundation sent him to the University of the Philippines, Manila campus. He is now taking Physical Therapy.
To augment the scholarship allowance, Dennis became a working student.
Since he had been a volunteer tutor before, he was hired in a review and tutorial center. The pay was not much, just enough for him to buy P40 meals in a cafeteria.
“To juggle and balance academic studies, hard work, and daily life is never easy. I go to school very early in the morning until afternoon. And then, I go to work after school. I go back to the dormitory at past 9 in the evening. I begin doing my school assignments and projects by that time,” said Dennis.
Many times he wanted to quit.
But the Feast he attends in Pasig every Sunday keeps him going.
His one big dream? “Lord, You have blessed my life so profoundly. I would like to be a blessing for others too.”
As a KerygmaFamily member sending a monthly Love Offering, you keep Dennis’ dreams alive.
You’re changing lives.

May your dreams come true,

Bo Sanchez
