A Stable Home for John Marie's Four Boys

Help a Resilient Single Mom of 4 Build a Better Future

Hi, my name is John Marie Domingo Villanueva, and I am a 25-year-old single mother to four beautiful boys, aged 1, 4, 5, and 7. We live in Camiling, Tarlac, Philippines, and every day is a struggle to make ends meet.

I work tirelessly selling snacks, vegetables, and fish, earning only 250-300 pesos ($4-$5) a day to support my family. We don’t own land or a house and rent a small space to call home. Life is challenging, but I am determined to provide for my boys and give them a chance at a brighter future.

My children inspire me every day. They are students, and despite our hardships, they do their best in school. While they study, my youngest often helps me sell goods. We rely on a tribike to get around—my kids ride while I walk and push.

What we truly dream of is stability: a small piece of land (50sqm) and a simple house where my boys can grow up safe and secure. With no family to turn to for help, I am reaching out to the kindness of strangers who may be willing to bless us with a helping hand.

Every little bit helps and will go toward creating a safe home for my children and ensuring they can focus on their education rather than worrying about where we’ll sleep next month. Your generosity would mean the world to us, and we will forever be grateful for any help you can give.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
