A LIGHT OF HOPE: Stay Brilliant Foundation brings a smile to Tahanang Mapagpala – A Home for Elderly
On October 20, 2022, the Stay Brilliant Foundation brought a light of hope to the eighteen elders in Tahanang Mapagpala at Malolos Bulacan. Tahanang Mapagpala ng Immaculada Conception Foundation, Inc. (Home for the elderly) was founded on March 19, 2001, a center-based facility in the diocese of Malolos intended to support the needs of these elders, and gives shelter and holistic care to neglected, poor, homeless, disadvantaged, and sick older women. A multitude of reasons why eldercare has great importance. By the time people reach an old age, it becomes more essential that they feel loved, cared for, valued, and supported to achieve a higher quality of life as they are the most prone to risk and vulnerability. A part of this is bringing joy in their silver years even in the most simple way, since it is not about how fancy and extravagant you give but the amount of willingness and genuineness to help you put into giving.
Stay Brilliant Foundation was started through LVNA, a luxury jewelry brand in the Philippines established by Drake Dustin Ibay with a mission to get the LVNA brand recognized as one of the leading trusted jewelry providers not just in the Philippines but also worldwide. With the aspiration to SEE LIGHT and always having that desire to extend a hand of help to people who greatly need support and BE THE LIGHT of HOPE to others, the Stay Brilliant Foundation was founded and driven by the purpose, to passionately solidify the help and charity that the brand can give to support different charitable institutions and organizations that are needing help. To always stay brilliant, means also to bring the light to others. With the continuous success and achievements of the brand, the foundation has become a meaningful way to give back blessings to others. Through this, the Stay Brilliant Foundation was able to donate goods and helped Tahanang Mapagpala on October 20, 2022, to give and provide the elders the required help they need and this includes some of the basic necessities, essentials, and daily healthcare, enough for all the resident elders in this home. These necessities have been greatly needed for the elders’ daily living in the shelter and have been challenging to sustain. After the donations and sharing of needed goods in the shelter, the elderly in Tahanang Mapagpala have extended their gratitude with big smiles on their faces and bright thankful eyes to the foundation and the LVNA brand.

The aim to give the light of hope and bring a smile to the faces of these eighteen amazing elders in Tahanang Mapagpala, a home for the elderly was fulfilled and greatly accomplished after planning through and executing this project. There is truly no satisfying and gratifying way to see more than the happiness and appreciation shown in the eyes and the faces of these amazing elderly in this home who have received a simple and kind donation from the Stay Brilliant Foundation. This is the start of more to come, the Stay Brilliant Foundation will continue to help and intensify the light for others, to give hope, support, and smile at the great capabilities of the foundation and the LVNA brand. The foundation will never stop with the hope to continue to empower the various charitable institutions and organizations.
