UPDATE #1
August 23, 2006
Last August 18, I started the information dessimination campaign to pray for Jones’ fast recovery. I likewise called for suggestions on how we can help him and his family cope up with the expenses. A day after, many responded. Some offered prayers and some pledged to share some of their blessings. I never expected such volume of responses.
Currently, I am spearheading a fund raising campaign for Jones. As of August 24, we have raised a total of Php10,080.00. I am sincerely asking everyone to help me in this endeavor. You can contact me in any of the following:

If your group or batch is doing a separate fund raising campaign, you can do any of the following:
1. Give the money personally to his wife or family. Their address is
#9 Peñafrancia Zone 6, Naga City
2. Deposit the money directly to their account.
Bank: EPCI – Naga (Elias Angeles Branch)
Account #: 0578-14139-1
Account Name: Jose Jones Capucao and May Ann Belano
Account Type: Joint
3. Wire the money through Western Union or LBC. However, it requires a person who will receive the money. You can either put my name as the receiver or if not Jones’ wife. Just don’t forget to text the MTCN.
4. You can likewise contact or visit me anytime at the CS Office.
With your help, we can make this work!

Update on Jones’ Condition
——————————
I have spoken to May (Jone’s wife) last night over the phone, she told me that Jones is recovering very well. He can now chew small slices of apples. He can utter some phrases such as “sakit, aray, ang paa ko, grabe man, di ko kaya.” He can now move a bit his hands and feet. It’s a good sign!
