On the evening of 30 September 2025, at precisely 9:59 PM, a powerful magnitude 6.9 earthquake struck my beloved hometown Cebu where my mom granddaughter and family still reside. I had panic attacks the "what if's" negative scenarios kept on running in my head. I twitch every time I heard a notification on my phone. Thanks God everyone is safe. Everything and everyone is safe.

November 3rd.. one dreadful night. Cebu was hit by Typhoon Tino signal # 4 (A typhoon is the same as a hurricane; the only difference is the name, which is based on geographic location). Our family house was totally destroyed. The entire house flooded. Everything that I worked so hard for for years and years is gone. Nothing is left but memories and I'm starting from scratch again but I'm still grateful my family is saved. It was heartbreaking I cried silently in pain trying to be strong because that's what's left in me. I have to be strong for my family.

I am knocking at your kind hearts to help my family as they badly need basic necessities. Everything was washed out by the flood. Your help will go for food water clothes and mattresses as everything has been destroyed by flood.
