A Mother's Journey of Love, Strength, and Hope

​

My name is Rodelyn Ybañez, and I am the proud mother of Skyliegh, who is seven years old. My husband and I have three children—two boys and our daughter, Skyliegh.

Our family lives a simple life. My husband works as a farmer, while I work as a Job Order employee for the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Ubay as a Rehabilitation Assistant. Despite the challenges we face, we remain committed to providing the best possible care and support for our children.

​

The Rewards of Being Skyliegh's Mum

The most rewarding part of my journey as a mother has been watching my daughter grow in her own unique way. Having a child with special needs has taught me patience, unconditional love, and a strength I never knew I possessed.

Every milestone, no matter how small it may seem to others, is a huge victory for our family. Her smile, resilience, and the joy she brings into our lives remind me every day that love has no limits. Skyliegh has made me a stronger, more compassionate person, and I am incredibly proud to be her mum.

​

The Support That Keeps Us Going

One of the biggest blessings in our journey has been the love and support of our family, along with the guidance of Skyliegh's therapists and teachers. Their encouragement has helped me stay strong and focus on every achievement my daughter reaches.

I am also deeply grateful for the parenting workshops conducted in Ubay. These workshops have provided valuable knowledge and support, helping families like ours navigate the challenges and joys of raising children with special needs.

 

Our Wish for the Future

My wish is not only for my daughter but for all the beneficiaries and families who need ongoing support. I hope that more sponsors will continue to help us access therapy services and maintenance support, making our daily lives a little easier and helping our children reach their full potential.

​

Celebrating Every Achievement

Today, Skyliegh has gained weight, grown bigger and stronger, and achieved milestones that fill my heart with pride. She can now control her head and communicate with us, which is one of the greatest achievements I could ever hope for as her mother.

These may seem like simple accomplishments to some people, but for our family, they represent years of hard work, dedication, hope, and love.

​

Dreams and Hopes Ahead

I continue to hope and pray that one day Skyliegh will be able to sit independently and eventually walk.

For my family, I dream of completing the construction of our home, which is still unfinished. We are working on it slowly, step by step, as our resources allow. I also hope that my two sons will successfully finish their education and achieve their own dreams.

No matter what challenges come our way, we will continue moving forward with faith, determination, and hope.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us, especially those who have given us the opportunity to share our story. We are grateful to be able to contribute and tell a small part of our family's journey.
