The Spirit of Christmas: “Hallmark for L.I.F.E” gives children another chance at life

Tweet

The Spirit of Christmas is a giving tradition. Certainly Christmas is a time of giving and sharing with those around us, family, friends, loveones workmates and all. Embracing the spirit of Christmas also means giving to those beyond our immediate sphere as well, especially those most in need.

Through every celebration—may it be a birthday, an anniversary, or a wedding—Hallmark has been part of spreading the most precious messages of love and cheer. Their well-loved cards have connected and brought smiles throughout people all over the world. And this year’s holiday season is no exception. 

For 23 years, Filstar Distributors Corporation (FDC), the country’s exclusive licensee of Hallmark USA together with the Leukemic Indigents Fund Endowment (L.I.F.E.) Foundation created a charitable project called “Hallmark for L.I.F.E.” to help alleviate the condition of indigent children with Leukemia. 

Every year, Hallmark collaborates with top local artists in creating special limited edition L.I.F.E. products such as greeting cards, gift wrappers, bags, and other giftable items where a portion from the sales of these products go straight to the foundation.

Yatco, Business Co - Chair, LIFE Foundation, Winfred Huang, President, LIFE Foundation, Gabriel A. Felix, Treasurer, LIFE Foundation, Nanette M. Garcia, Assistant Vice President - Sales, Filstar Distributors Corporation 

This holiday season, FDC will donate to the Foundation a portion from the sales of all Christmas products of Hallmark including the 2018 L.I.F.E. Christmas card collection 

Hallmark for L.I.F.E. sparks hope back into the lives of less fortunate children and helps them in their fight against leukemia. Since its inception in 1995, this charitable project has eased the burden of families experiencing the ordeal of both disease and poverty.

To formally launch Hallmark for L.I.F.E, an event was held last October 31 at the Ayala Malls 30th Cinema 1. It was attended by the Hallmark for L.I.F.E team and some of the kids of the foundation. Through this, the people behind Hallmark and L.I.F.E. Foundation hope to help uplift the spirits of the kids, put a smile on their faces, and give them the encouragement and support that they need. 

Christmas is a time for families and loved ones to come together and celebrate the holidays. This season, may we be reminded of the spirit of giving—that even in the littlest ways, we make a conscious effort to support good causes. Because to someone, a gift is just a gift, and a greeting card is simply that, but to someone else, your purchase gives them more: hope, joy, and the best present you could possibly give, another chance at life.

This modern memorial place in QC takes innovation to a whole new level

Tweet

At some point in our mortal lives, we will all have to deal with death, loss, and grief. But no matter how natural or inevitable death is, it still remains to be a difficult topic to discuss, even and especially with our innermost circles.

Subsequently, the issues of post-life care and memorial services are usually the last thing on our minds, too—not only because it is taboo, but also because of the notion that it requires a lot of work and money. This should not always be the case, however, because we all must have a choice in how we’d like to commemorate the life of our dearly departed and the cherished memories they leave behind.

Especially at this most difficult hour of our lives, we could do without the hassle and burden of preparing for a funeral. Yet, we would like our departed loved ones to have a peaceful resting place, too. This explains why more and more people all over the world are opting for more innovative and convenient ways in burying their dead as they veer away from the traditional and more costly land burial.

Here in the Philippines, Eternal Bright Sanctuary, Inc. (EBSI) is constructing Aeternitas Chapels and Columbarium, a new, world-class memorial facility on Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City. 

Priding itself as the gold standard in the death care industry in the country, the soon-to-rise Aeternitas will offer over 45,000 spacious and beautifully designed niches that can house as many as four regular-sized urns per columbarium vault.

Designed by the current Philippine Regulatory Commissioner, Architect Yolanda Reyes, the nine-storey Aeternitas will have 15 premier memorial chapels and 2 grand memorial chapels.

Aeternitas will be strategically located beside St. Peter’s Shrine of Leaders, a parish church, and the proposed Don Antonio and Batasan Stations of the MRT-7, making it readily accessible for future visitors from all over the metro.

For the comfort and convenience of its clients and guests, Aeternitas will have 6 fully functional passenger elevators, centralized air-conditioning system, up to 200 parking slots, a cozy and

comfortable family room, round-the-clock security, and efficient emergency services.

As a “sanctuary of loving memories,” Aeternitas will exude a serene and peaceful ambiance that is in harmony with nature. It will have a modern lobby, pretty pocket gardens, a coffee shop, restaurant, and flower shop, greeneries all over the place, and a glass central ceiling that will allow natural illumination from the sun.

Honor the life and memories of your departed loved ones the modern and convenient way with Aeternitas’ full-service memorial care.
