Mommy Rose is now feeling better—enough to be able to spend time with her grandchildren.

Marcus, the youngest of the Valerio-Miranda grandchildren, misses her the most. Before she was diagnosed with AML, Mommy Rose is one of Marcus’s favourite playmates. While she remains weak from the cellulitis infection on her left leg, Mommy Rose strives to be present whenever Marcus and the other Miranda kids want to be with them.

Thankfully, there is no shortage of people who want to help make Mommy Rose be better as financial support from colleagues—both present and past—continue to flow. Together with prayers from family and friends, our hopes are lifted that our beloved Mommy Rose will win her battle against acute myeloid leukemia and enjoy more precious moments with her family.
