Campaign Story
My name is Jo and I am a part-time barista.
In my coffee journey, I was graced to meet and to still be working with a kind-hearted, brilliant, cat-loving barista, Yassie Lorenzo, whose genius led her to become the 2018 Philippine Champion for Coffee in Good Spirits . However, like most hard-working and passionate people, Yassie's greatest challenge is about her greatest love: her mother's fight for life.
I call Tita Delia Lorenzo as Mama Cat.
When she was young, she met an accident where an umbrella pierced one of her breasts. She was given medical attention and have recovered. In 1978, she was found to have a mass forming in her breast and it was medically removed. However, in 2012, she was found to have another growth which was originally diagnosed as a benign cyst and didn't need any surgical removal. Last year, however, she started complaining about her the mass growing in size and her breast starting to ache. That was when she was brought to the hospital, had undergone a biopsy, and was diagnosed with Stage II breast cancer. Due to financial restraints, she wasn't able to get any clinical treatment.
Earlier this year, Mama Cat was rushed to the emergency room because the pain in her breast was too much that she had difficulty breathing. The doctors have recommended both a series of chemotherapy and surgery.
I am writing on behalf of the Lorenzos who are doing all that they can to see their mother live. Mama Cat has been a widow for 23 years and has therefore raised her 6 children all by herself, some of them have never even finished school but have learned life first-hand and have succeeded in ways that no money could amount to––all because their mom never gave up on them.
