<div><strong>Help Rebuild Linapacan: Support Families Recovering After Typhoon Tino</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On November 5, Typhoon Tino (Kalmaegi) ripped through Northern Palawan - it's last stop in the Philippines after more high-profile landfalls in Cebu and the Visayas. The remote Linapacan Group of Islands northeast of El Nido took a direct hit.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Residents report shocking devastation, with entire villages wiped out and fishing boats reduced to kindling, leaving families without their only source of livelihood. Since the typhoon, very little relief has reached these islands, which can only be reached by boat. Across the archipelago, thousands of families are without shelter, clean water, or basic supplies.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We (Greg and Windi of Bearcat Travel in El Nido) are on the ground in Palawan raising funds to mobilize Bearcat Travel's 50-ton motor yacht, M/Y Isla, to deliver urgently needed construction materials to these communities. M/Y Isla is no stranger to the Linapacan Group, as these idyllic islands are a frequent stop on the boat expeditions we organize.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fund aims to support 533 families as they begin rebuilding. Each family needs basic materials to construct emergency shelter:

<div>6 sheets per family × 533 families

<div>Cost per sheet: $5.75

<div>Total: $18,388

</div>
<div>0.5 kg per family
</div>
<div>Cost per kg: $1.35
</div>
<div>Total: $360
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Including fuel and logistics to move these materials across multiple islands, our total goal is <strong>$20,000</strong>).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even a small contribution can help a family begin rebuilding a safe, dry place to sleep. Your support will bring dignity, security, and hope to some of the hardest-hit communities in Palawan—people who urgently need help today.
