Enrique Balce-an’s life was a perfect picture of how life should be—simple yet happy.

A look at his family and their humble home, one could immediatel­y sense the feeling of happiness. But beneath the smile was a problem that Balce-an has been praying for to be solved.

“I knew early on that there was something wrong—my child was about 8 months old at that time. It was a big blow for me knowing that my youngest, Renzo, was sick and that we didn’t have enough to have him thoroughly checked and treated,” Balce-an shared.

“It was really painful to see that he couldn’t do the things that a normal kid his age could experience and enjoy. All he does is lie down—he couldn’t play or do other things. We’ve already asked for help from the government and other people to pay for his treatment but still, it wasn’t enough. My only wish right now is to again find someone who could help Renzo get better through treatment and medication,” he added.

Hearing Balce-an’s heartbreak­ing story, officers from Suntrust Properties’ mother company, Megaworld Corp., immediatel­y provided financial assistance to ensure that Renzo could be brought to the hospital and be properly diagnosed.

Luckily, Renzo through the kindness of Megaworld officials is now going through a series of therapy that could eventually help him become better.
