Acoustic artists form the lineup of a benefit show in Mandaluyong.
The “All For Q” will be held at 123Block in Mandaluyong on August 28. It is a fundraiser for Qoheleth Maximus Miguel or Baby Q, who was born extremely premature after his mother Van’s amniotic sac ruptured at just 22 weeks of pregnancy.
Baby Q was delivered last July 5, at 24 weeks and 3 days gestation, via Caesarean section at 625 grams and was immediately admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of a Quezon City hospital. Organizers are hoping the baby stays healthy and survives until his intended full term in late October.
Van is a stay-at-home mom to three home-schooled kids with her husband Xley, a full-time local church pastor of Christ’s Heritage Church in Quezon City.
Organizers had already done a string of events, including a garage sale, badminton tournament, bake sale, Filipino langugage webinar, and pop-up and busking at San Juan City’s The Cornerhouse.
The “All For Q” benefit show and another garage sale will be the culmination of the fundraisers featuring Ebe Dancel, Noel Cabangon, Over October, Munimuni, The Ridleys, and a special secret guest.
