Thank you all for the concerns and loving message. It gives me strength in dark times like this.
I don’t have any updates on Cacai (my niece) yet. We already planned a trip to the Philippines to visit our farm in Palawan next Friday, on the way back I will be checking on her in their place in Manila and see how I can help her. I will definitely give her all the help I can give.
I don’t know yet what she needs.
The first days after I’ve learned about this, I just want to get her away from there and keep her safe. Adopt her or something but of course it’s not that simple. Where she lives is not exactly where one would like to raise a child but her family has been living there for a very long time already.
Since the father(my grandma’s brother) of Cacai’s mom died, my grandma tried to help them. She sent Cacai’s mom and other siblings to school so they can have a good future. We were not rich but my grandma could afford at that time to help out family.
They were not very ambitious – so after awhile they would just drop out of school and get knocked up and have kids. And the cycle would probably continue with their kids unless they get out of that place. I do hope to help this little girl.
I will be raising funds to support Cacai’s needs. I will be posting products for auction or for direct sales and the profit I will be dedicated to Cacai.

how’s caicai now?
hi jade, i want to donate kahit maliit lang. email me your paypal address ok. my email is girlforallstatus@yahoo.com
take care
Oh man, I can’t believe that happened to her. If you would like, I can do whatever I can to spread the word on my blog. Here’s my email, fromadesperatehousewife@gmail.com and we can discuss whatever needs to be done to really raise some money for her care.
You’re a wonderful spirit for trying to help your niece from the abuse she’s suffering. I have some nieces and nephews in the PI that I too try to help financially when I am able since they are not as fortunate.
Jade that is very sweet of you. I hope she will regain her spirit back and dream of an ambition. I pray for her!
I’m not sure I understand why you would have to move to where she lives to adopt her? Is there a way you can adopt her and bring her home with you? I know there is so much more to this but I am praying for all of you.
I’m so sorry to hear about this. Children are suppose to be loved not hurt. It’s very sad to hear about these things happening. My heart does go out to you and I applaud you for being there and doing what you can to help her. Strong and supporting family members are good for her at a time like this.
oh, I forgot to tell I’m from http://kittys-haven.info. maraming salamat!
hello, there. I came here coz I saw you from my entrecard, when I read your post I think you’re the one sis yenny was talking about, my heart seemed to stop when I learned about this… poor child, when I read stories like this, that are for real of course, it makes my heart feel with hatred for anybody who can do such a hateful manner. I wish something can be done for cacai, poor girl, she’s only a baby… God has his plans for people who does such things like these. they’re not human beings at all but animals. I try my best not to fill myselfm with anger but raping babies are just sinful! I pray that cacai will grow up a fine young lady, sana hindi naman maapektuhan ang katauhan nya, coz I knew someone who was abused as a child and as she grew up medyo may issues sya, but she conquered it when she was in her teen years na. she grew out of it but she still remembers what had happened to her. sana naman matulungan sya, she’s in our prayers….
So truly sorry to hear about your neice
No one should have to suffer from abuse, let alone a baby – and at just 4 years old, that precious girl is still a baby.
Cacai is in my prayers.
hi jade
I am so sorry to hear about cacai. it seems like rape cases like those are common in the provinces they’re just not reported. its a great idea to raise funds for her! I hope and pray that she recovers from the trauma. what she went through is quite damaging.
i still feel bad for cacai…i hope you raise a lot of funds for this. i am also saving up my paypal funds in preparation for my delivery in may. but maybe i can just donate something to your paypal (oh i hope i know how to do this). even if it is just a small amount. and i hope you get a lot of financial support around here…
Hi Jade,
I am waiting right now for funds to be added to my Paypal. It will be some time next week. I would love to have some of these for Christmas presents. Please don’t let me forget!!
Hugs for you and the little one!!
I will be keeping you and your family – and especially Cacai – in my thoughts and prayers… so glad that your niece has such an caring and loving aunt in you!
so sorry to hear about your niece…
as far as i know, government hospitals has a special help desk for this. they can examine her for FREE and give her free counseling. they can also help you find a FREE lawyer for her case. her taped interviews and psychological test results can be used in court also.
hope this helps…
I’ve got an award for you!
xo
You’re such a great lady…I’d be trying to do the same if I were you.
Good luck!
xoxo
Hi Girl,
You won on the contest! Check it out at my Design WOrkbench! THanks!
The mugs are super cute. I am glad you are raising some money for her. She needs some help and she is lucky to have you as her aunt.
The physical and emotional trauma that poor little girl has, and will, suffer just breaks my heart.
Im so sorry to hear about this. I dont know what to say but I also dont want to leave without saying something. I hope she gets over this…:( My prayers are with you and your family xxx
I have a suggestion perhaps bring her on a holiday/vacation. Get away from the unhappy place for a while.
I forgot say that show her that everybody love her and she’s safe now.
I think best way to help her is care for her and love her more.
The sooner you can get her some professional help, the better. Counseling helped me put all the pieces of my shattered soul back together, and to walk away from a lifetime of abusive relationships. My prayers are to your and yours–hugs to you all.
I think raising funds for her is a great idea. Let us know how it all goes Jade. She is a baby who needs to be protected.
Jade, thank you for stopping by my blog. I’m not sure what brought you there but I hope to see you again. (maybe from the Milk Bar?) My mother is from the Philippines. Though I have never visited the islands, someday I would really like to.
I’m so so sorry about your niece. That is so heartbreaking. I get angry everytime I hear stories like this. I really do hope she’ll be okay, especially emotionally. I’ll keep her in my prayers.
Hey HI!!! How you been nice new blog! I am not familiar with Cacai’s story but I hope you can help her God Bless. I like the mug. Can you bring it here in the Philippines when you get home!
Hahaha! Wanna meet up? I like your new profile pic very nice!
The love and support of people around her, including yourself will help give her strength.
So sorry to hear about her. That is terrible how many awful people there are in the world!
