“I am sincerely grateful to Master Cheng Yen because she blessed us with wonderful life perspective and she inspired hope within each of us. I never really expected that there is someone who will genuinely support us even though we never really know her,” a heart-felt message from Avendaño.
“Nagpapasalamat ako sa kanya kung saan man siya naroroon dahil ang ibinigay niya sa amin ay napakagandang bahay at ang bawat isa sa amin ay nagkaroon ng pag-asa. Hindi ko sukat akalain na may taong susuporta sa amin kahit hindi niya kami kakilala,” taos-pusong wika ni Avendaño.
