II. PROBLEM PRESENTED

The client's mother is requesting a social case study report relative to her application for medical social assistance. She has no means whatsoever to provide for her daughter's medical needs, hence relies mainly on outside support.


III. FINDINGS

Barely 11 years old, Joylin Abendan was diagnosed with cerebral palsy when she was about two years old. Her condition is severe because, aside from being so emaciated, she is also bedridden, requiring constant assistance and attention. But, the mother's predicament is her inability to provide for Joylin's medical needs. She merely resorts to outside help.

The client's parents have long been separated, and it is her brother, Bernard, though married, who acts as the family breadwinner. He is just an irregular construction worker.

The family dwells in a makeshift house, situated beside a creek which is habitated by other urban-poor settlers.

The mother also claimed that, with her family's economic situation, she has since been seeking medical help for her daughter from benevolent persons who are able to provide for her needs.


IV. EVALUATION/RECOMMENDATION

The client's family is among the many indigent families of this city who cannot afford even simple medical treatment.

Appropriate assistance is hereby recommended.
