A man in Cavite who works as a delivery rider received an arm and hand prosthesis from GMA Kapuso Foundation and LN-4 Foundation.
According to "24 Oras" Wednesday, Nathaniel Felix Sagun was born without a left hand. He takes on deliveries to support his father who has tuberculosis. While there are some days where he makes P1,000 a day, earnings can get tough on other days.
"Di ko na nararamdaman na mahirap basta po ang sa 'kin ay tuloy-tuloy lang po kumita para maka-survive. Pinakagantimpala ko po sa araw-araw makauwi po [nang] safe," shared Nathaniel.
"Masakit po sa braso kasi hindi po siya na-t-twist eh, naka-straight lang po siya sa manibela, nakatukod," he said of his left arm.
The GMA Kapuso Foundation and LN-4 Foundation has given Nathaniel an arm and hand prosthesis to help ease his condition. They also gave grocery packs and vitamins to him and his father.
"Dahil sa prosthetic hand na binigay natin sa kaniya, pantay na 'yung paghawak niya sa manibela," said Anthony Untalan of LN-4 Foundation.
"Masaya [ang pakiramdam] kasi kahit papaano po sa tulong po ng prosthetic ma-f-feel ko po kahit papaano na parang kumpleto po 'yung parte ng katawan ko," said Nathaniel.
For those who wish to support GMA Kapuso Foundation's projects for persons with disabilities (PWDs), donations may be made via Metrobank, Land Bank, BDO, Bank of Commerce, UnionBank, PNB, Cebuana Lhuillier, GCash, Lazada, and Shopee. Visit the GMA Kapuso Foundation website for more information.
