Tulungan Natin si Lola
Habang naglalakad ako papuntang Terminal ng Batoda, nakita ko si Lola na hirap na hirap, umuulan at nababasa. Pinipilit niyang sumilong sa ilalim ng trapal.
Habang naghihintay sa ilalim ng overpass, napansin kong bumili siya ng fried chicken. Pero sa kanyang pagbaba ng hagdang-bato, nadulas siya at nahulog ang pagkain.
Nilapitan ko siya. “Lola, okay ka lang?” tanong ko. Wala siyang sagot. “Nagugutom ka po ba?” “Oo,” sagot niya.
“Tara, bibili tayo ng pagkain,” sabi ko. Naghanap kami ng tindahan ng lugaw at may mabait na nagbigay sa amin. Binigyan ko si Lola ng kaunting pera para may pambili.
Dahil mainit ang lugaw, tinulungan siya ng tindera na subuan. Nahihiya ako, pero sabi ng tindera, “Walang problema, basta nakatulong.”
Tinulungan din ako ng kaibigan ko na makausap si Lola. May pamilya raw siya—may dalawang anak sa Justice.
Ipinagbigay-alam ko ang nangyari sa mga tao na makakatulong. Sana’y mahanap natin ang kanyang pamilya. Maraming salamat sa tulong.

Let’s Help GrandmaWhile walking to Batoda Terminal, I saw Grandma struggling, raining and wet. He insists on taking shelter under the tarp.While waiting under the overpass, I noticed he bought fried chicken. But as he came down the stairs, he slipped and fell the food.I walked in on her. “Grandma, are you okay?” “My question. He doesn’t have an answer. “Are you hungry? “””Yes,” he replied.“Let’s go buy some food,” I said. We searched for a porridge store and someone nice gave us one. Gave Grandma some money to buy.Because the porridge was hot, the seller helped him to dish it up. I’m shy, but the seller said, “No problem, as long as it helped.” ”My friend also helped me talk to Grandma. He says he has a family—has two children in Justice.I share what happened to people who can help. Hope we find his family. Thank you very much for the help.Courtesy: Adrian S Munda Cruz
