Please help rebuild our home
Donation protected
Please help raise money for The Concepcion families who are victims of a recent fire in Manila, Philippines. The fire was so abrupt it destroyed everything. We are so grateful that no one was hurt or killed by the fire. The Concepcion’s were left without shelter, clothing, shoes, utensils and cookware. Just the day after the incident, my uncle and cousins were combing through the rubble and devastation to see if anything was salvageable. One hundred percent of funds raised (less GoFundMe fees and charges) will help our efforts to ship/deliver cargo internationally. The funds will assist with construction materials and supplies to rebuild their home. With your help and the help of friends and families they can start rebuilding their lives. Photos of everyone’s efforts and updates will be regularly posted here.
I am saddened that the home we knew as a child has been burnt to the ground. This house has been a home to five generations of our family. Yes it’s below the poverty level but it is home sweet home for the Concepcion families which includes twelve children between the ages of two to seventeen. This campaign will help rebuild their two story home on their (approximately) four hundred square foot lot. We would be so grateful for any and all help.
GoFundMe asked me to share some details below about myself. If anyone has any questions please do not hesitate to email or message me.
