CURE in Philippines
The picture above is of CURE in Philippines. Everyone who serves with CURE in Philippines, from medical professionals to office staff, are dedicated to providing the highest quality medical and spiritual care to people who, without CURE, couldn't find it and couldn't afford it, just like Kimberly. To do that, we're inviting you to partner with us.
We need to raise approximately $1000 to treat children like Kimberly. When you give a gift through Kimberly's CUREkids profile, your contribution will help us continue our work in countries like Philippines. Have more questions? Ask us.
Monthly Giving: Be a Hero!
When you partner with us monthly, we'll send you an email each month to introduce you to a different child who was helped because of your generosity. You can choose to follow their updates and send them get well messages. That means that each year, you're a part of helping 12 different children, beginning with Kimberly. We call it being a CURE Hero!
Got it. Thanks for the explanation.

“I’m not angry at what happened, because I feel powerless. Being angry doesn’t change anything.” - Kimberly.
Five years ago, Kimberly was an average young teenager. She was in school, had a lot of friends, and loved to play volleyball. She had dreams of being a singer when she grew up. Then one day in February 2010, her entire world was turned upside down, simply because of where her family lived.
Rebels in western Mindanao entered her village, burned eight houses down, and sprayed the area with bullets, killing 13 people. Two of those killed were Kimberly’s younger siblings. She was trapped inside her house and hid, but couldn’t escape severe burns to her face, hand, and legs, which were later amputated. She spent 6 months in the hospital in Davao.
Kimberly, and her younger cousin Kristian who was also severely burned in another house, heard about CURE through the Jubilee Foundation, an organization that helps families in need. Kimberly will have skin releases on her left hand and elbow. Her right amputated stump will be prepared for a prosthetic, so she can walk again, maybe even play volleyball again! She is very self conscious about her leg, and covers it as much as she can. She will possibly have more procedures in the future, so we will get to spend time with this sweet girl over the next coming months.
Kimberly is back in school, finishing her last year of high school, and still wants to be a singer. She has an amazing, upbeat attitude, especially with all she’s been through. We’re excited to walk with this family through their journey of healing!
Latest Updates
Kimberly never fails to amaze us as we see how God has continually been working in her life! This year, we had the chance to be reunited with her again as she attended the Night to Shine event, a prom held for our patients and kids with special needs. Not only was she a guest this time, but she made the program extra special by serenading us with a worship song! Aside from all the glitz and glam of the event, Kim shared her favorite part of the program when the speaker reminded her of God’s love and her identity! She also thanks the people that God used as instruments to help her and give her hope and joy and that includes each and everyone of you! She will be back at the hospital anytime soon for another stump revision!
We have to admit that we got teary-eyed seeing one of our special guests at Night to Shine this weekend! We found out that Kimberly now stays within the city to continue going to school, so it wasn’t hard to send an invite her way. Through our partners from the Seeds of Dignity, Kimberly was able to wear a beautiful ball gown and walked down the red carpet, embracing her identity as a child of the King! We are so honored to be partnering with the Tim Tebow Foundation for this event and even humbled to see our patients back as they give us lots of hugs and thanks! We are sending those hugs to you as well! You have been a huge part of Kimberly’s healing!
Kimberly is back with her new legs! This is such an exciting day for all of us seeing her up and walking! She came by the hospital with her Aunt Jessica after her last day of physical therapy to show how great she’s adjusting with her prostheses! It’s been a huge blessing to serve Kim and her family and it was so sweet to see what God has done in their lives. Our prayers are answered and we are full of joy knowing that God is going to use her story to inspire others. We are thankful that you’re a part of Kim’s healing!
