As her father no longer works and her mother is a house helper, Villanueva said that Tzu Chi was indeed a big help to them. “My life changed ever since Tzu Chi entered our life because before it was hard for us to buy for my medication. Now, we are no longer problematic about my medications.”
Dahil ang kanyang ama ay hindi na nagtatrabaho at ang kanyang ina ay isang kasambahay, sinabi ni Villanueva na malaki ang naitulong sa kanila ng Tzu Chi. “Nagbago ang aking buhay simula nang dumating ang Tzu Chi dahil mahirap para sa aming bumili ng gamot noon. Ngayon, hindi na namin suliranin ang aking mga gamot.”
