Program accomplishments

• In 2024, Adonai's Mercy House advanced its mission to bring hope, healing, and dignity to the most vulnerable through several impactful initiatives in both the Philippines and the United States. Pediatric Oncology Support - Philippines: In partnership with Mary Johnston Hospital, Adonai's Mercy House completed the construction of a dedicated pediatric oncology ward, creating a safe, child-focused environment for treatment. The organization provided comprehensive support to 47 families with children battling cancer. This included financial assistance for treatment, nutritious food, essential medicines, and training programs for parents and caregivers. Many of these families had previously given up on treatment due to cost. Through our support, children were given a renewed chance at life, and families were empowered to walk through this journey with spiritual, emotional, and practical care. Autism Family Support - Philippines: Adonai's Mercy House extended its services to children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) by organizing family gatherings and training workshops aimed at educating and encouraging parents and caregivers. Families received assistance with autism support devices, learning tools, and guidance on how to better understand and care for their children. These gatherings fostered a sense of community and inclusion, reducing the isolation many families feel. Through this program, parents were not only equipped with tools and knowledge, but also reminded they are not alone. Elderly Care Support - United States: In Walla Walla, Washington, and surrounding areas, Adonai's Mercy House continued its outreach to elderly residents in long-term care facilities, many of whom lack family support. Our team provided regular companionship, nutritious food, encouragement, and prayerful presence. Volunteers also assisted with transportation to medical appointments, helped obtain prescriptions, and ensured these seniors were treated with the dignity and love they deserve. These services helped bridge the gap between medical care and human connection, especially for residents with few or no visitors.

• Adonai's Mercy House (AMH) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing material, emotional, and spiritual support to Filipino children battling cancer and other serious illnesses, as well as to their families and caregivers. Founded twelve years ago by Aimee and Shane Wallenda out of a sincere desire to help poor Filipino children facing life-threatening diagnoses, AMH has grown from a small faith-based initiative into a structured humanitarian organization with offices in both the United States and the Philippines. In 2025, the organization made major strides, expanding its programs, professionalizing its administrative and financial systems, launching a pediatric oncology ward, and deepening partnerships with institutions and organizations committed to child health and welfare. During 2025, AMH served a total of 47 documented child beneficiaries across its programs, including 27 continuing beneficiaries and 20 newly admitted oncology ward patients, in addition to extending burial assistance to the families of four children who passed away during the year. The children served ranged in age from 1 to 21 years old. They carried diagnoses including acute lymphoblastic leukemia, beta thalassemia, retinoblastoma, cerebral palsy, Ewing's sarcoma, medulloblastoma, congenital heart disease, hydrocephalus, immune thrombocytopenic purpura, biliary atresia, optic pathway glioma, Langerhans histiocytosis, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, chronic myelogenous leukemia, and other complex and rare pediatric conditions. AMH's most significant program accomplishment in 2025 was the launch and operation of a Pediatric Oncology Ward at Mary Johnston Hospital in Manila, Philippines. The ward began admitting patients in January 2025 and by December 31 had recorded more than 70 admissions involving 20 patients who underwent chemotherapy and blood transfusions. Children and their guardians are welcomed into the ward a day before treatment to allow adequate rest and preparation. They are monitored by a pediatrician and nurses stationed within the ward throughout their stay. Meals are provided free of charge to all patients and accompanying caregivers. After treatment concludes, families are not required to leave immediately and may remain in the ward for observation and recovery in a calm, supportive, and child-friendly environment. All parents of ward patients had secured PhilHealth government health insurance membership, allowing children to access PhilHealth benefits covering chemotherapy, laboratory tests, professional fees, and lodging expenses. When PhilHealth reimbursements to the hospital were delayed by three to four months, Dr. Glenn Paraso, Executive Director of Mary Johnston Hospital and an AMH Board Member, generously advanced the professional fees of the oncologist to ensure uninterrupted care. Feedback from parents and caregivers has been overwhelmingly positive, with many sharing that their children looked forward to returning for treatment and were no longer traumatized by injections, and that parents were able to rest and sleep soundly while staying in the supportive ward environment. In addition to the oncology ward, AMH continued providing direct financial assistance to beneficiaries receiving treatment at hospitals other than Mary Johnston Hospital. This assistance covered laboratory fees, medicines, transportation, and other assessed needs. Burial assistance was extended to the families of all four children who passed away during the year, honoring the AMH commitment to walking with families through both healing and farewell. In February 2025, AMH established an office in Quezon City at the Christian Language Study Center, which serves as a hub for regular administrative operations. The office rental cost of twelve thousand Philippine pesos per month is significantly below the prevailing market rate for comparable spaces in the area. The office has enabled AMH to systematize its operations, strengthen its public image, and create a professional base for program delivery and staff coordination. Current Philippines-based staff include an Executive Director, an Administrative Assistant, a Communications and Resource Development Consultant, and a maintenance volunteer. In March 2025, AMH engaged M.D. Fisico Accounting Office to manage its accounting and financial systems, including recording and updating financial transactions and preparing and submitting required reports to the Bureau of Internal Revenue, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and other Philippine regulatory agencies. AMH also implemented a Caring for Parents and Carers Program in 2025, recognizing that the wellbeing of children is deeply connected to the wellbeing of those who care for them. In partnership with Parenting Inside and Out, led by Ms. Ting Valdez, and coordinated by AMH Founder Aimee Wallenda, a parenting support program was launched in February focusing on holistic wellness across physical, psychological, mental, and spiritual dimensions. Two online training sessions were conducted by AMH-US partners on Creative Journaling and Parent Development, facilitated by licensed psychologists and counselors. Participants described the sessions as empowering and expressed eagerness to continue building their coping skills. Modules are currently being translated into Filipino to reach more parents. Two sessions of massage therapy training were also conducted for caregivers, facilitated by a TESDA-certified veteran massage therapist. Sessions focused on techniques to ease pain, provide comfort, and help children relax and sleep better. DoTerra essential oils were distributed for home use, and the training is designed to continue until caregivers master sufficient techniques, with potential application as a livelihood skill. The organization's Healing Garden continued to serve as a holistic healing space where, after therapy sessions, children enjoy a small playground with a swing, seesaw, playhouse, and various toys. AMH was blessed in 2025 to welcome three visiting groups from the United States, including visitors from Los Angeles and San Francisco, who brought encouragement and material support to the children and families. The United Methodist Women in Faith Philippines Annual Conference formally partnered with AMH, visited twice, and incorporated AMH among their recognized ministries. On December 22, a supporter from Seattle celebrated her seventieth birthday with the children at Mary Johnston Hospital, describing it as the most meaningful birthday celebration she had ever experienced. In observance of Children's Cancer Month, AMH hosted a family gathering themed From Cancer Patients to Photographers, organized in partnership with Juan Portrait and Macquarie, which trained children and parents in photography as a creative outlet. In partnership with Unilab Inc., the leading pharmaceutical company in the Philippines and now an official AMH partner, two Children's Month celebrations were held at the Unilab compound and at Mary Johnston Hospital. A Christmas Celebration and Thanksgiving on December 5 brought together more than 100 children, parents, volunteers, and staff for shared meals, gift-giving, and a time of remembrance honoring the children who had passed away during the year. In the area of communications and resource development, AMH launched the regular publication of its monthly e-newsletter, Adonai's Herald, releasing nine issues in 2025. The organization regularly shared beneficiary stories on Facebook, improved its website, and made initial connections with mainstream media outlets, government institutions including newspapers, radio stations, the Philippine Senate, and the House of Representatives, in support of future logistical and resource partnerships. A retreat and fundraising event held in Walla Walla and Seattle in July brought together members of both the AMH-US and AMH-Philippines Boards and staff, strengthening relationships and reinforcing shared commitment to the mission. All funds raised and stewarded by AMH-US in 2025 were directed toward supporting the programs described above, including the operation of the pediatric oncology ward, direct medical assistance, caregiver support programs, office operations, staff compensation, communications, and program activities serving children and families facing cancer and other life-threatening illnesses in the Philippines.
