Hi, my name is Joseph-Henri FRADET (Joe). I am raising money for a brother and sister, both of whom lost their spouses under very tragic situations and both are living under extreme pressure to provide for their children, five young children in each family. I'm hoping to raise $5,000 per child. All the children are young and I pray this will be enough to care for them until they are on their own. Imagine you have a strong devotion to the Most Blessed Sacrament and you've have always received holy communion on the tongue, which in fact, has been the tradition of the church in both the East and the West for thousands of years. For no good reason, you are now told that is forbidden so you do some research and find a traditional Latin mass at St. Pius V chapel in Cebu City, Philippines, where holy communion is still distributed on the tongue and kneeling. While making the sacrifice of driving 3 to 4 hours to mass, your husband is killed in an accident on your 8th wedding anniversary! Now you have 5 young mouths to feed when you were barely surviving before becoming a widow. Your brother also has 5 young children and is a widower as his wife died during childbirth. Below, read the story of this sister and brother, Flordicar and Ernesto, in their own words. We really need your prayers and financial support! Please help us help them and share this with whomever you think is able to help. God bless you and thank you for your prayers and donations. Above: a photo of both families with Fr. Noronha, FSSPX.

Floricar and Joseph before the accident.

I, Flordicar Sabang, and my family are Traditional Catholics. My older

brother and I used to attend Novus Ordo Mass until we doubted about taking

Holy Communion in the hand. After that, I looked up Tridentine Latin Mass

on Facebook and discovered that there is a TLM in Cebu. I told my brother

about the place where the TLM is offered after receiving (from someone) a

direction of it. Without a doubt, my brother immediately went to the place

and attended the TLM. The next Sunday, we (my brother's and my family,

excluding my husband) went to the TLM. My husband joined us on the third

Sunday. Despite the long and exhausting trip, which would take 3 to 4 hours,

we were so happy to attend the TLM. Even though it was difficult for us to

cover the travel expenses, we made every effort to attend the TLM. It was

on our way to the church when my husband met an accident and died. Now,

life is quite difficult for me due to the fact that I have 5 children, all

but one of whom (the 1-year-old boy) attend school. No matter how

challenging life becomes, I will remain committed to the TLM.

My husband was died due to a motorcycle accident sir, he had 2 children with him in the backseat that time (1 is my nephew and 1 is our son) he was so much affected by that accident because, his leg was broke in 4 parts. Then, he was bring in the Danao Hospital with my son and nephew and brings by the ambulance. He was also entertained after 2 hours of suffering his injuries including his leg and his stomach ( which was more affected during the accident / it's the part where it has more impact during the accident) then, he was injected and the nurse gets a blood of him for his test. He should be take in an operation but, his body can't survive it at all and that's why he didn't recover. I was so struggling that time because, there will be no one who will work for us with our 5 children and I do still have a little child who still needs a support from his father. And I was also struggling because, none of us could do a job even I, because, I have also an ill and my body can't survive of doing some job even in doing household chores. And in the other hand, my older child is still studying and can't do a job because, she can't focus in studying while, doing a job. The date that it was happened was on January 8, 2023. It was our 8th wedding anniversary. We should be happy that time but, that accident had happened.
