Hello. My name is Catherine “Cat” and currently live in Florida, USA.

Next month, I’ll be traveling back to the Philippines, the place where my story began.

My heart is breaking for the families who have lost so much in the recent earthquakes (I've lost count as there have been so many, not to mention the multiple aftershocks). Homes destroyed, lives shaken, yet their faith still standing.

I feel God placing it on my heart to collect gently used clothing and raise funds to buy food, hygiene items, and essentials once I arrive. Every donation will go directly to families in need, and I’ll be sharing updates, photos, and videos in a private group on Facebook for all donors — so you can see exactly where every gift goes.

What Your Donations Will Provide:

Food Supplies

• Rice (about 1 kg per family)

• Canned goods (2–3 per family)

• Instant noodles or pancit packs

• Salt, sugar, or basic condiments

Water

• Bottled water or large water containers for drinking and cooking

• Optional: small reusable jugs for families in rural areas

Hygiene & Toiletries

• Bar soap or body wash

• Toothbrush and toothpaste

• Shampoo and conditioner packets

• Feminine products

• Laundry soap or detergent

• Small towels or washcloths (as donations allow)

Distribution & Logistics

• Bags or containers for packaging

• Transportation to areas items will be donate to

• Miscellaneous local expenses (fuel, helpers, etc.)

⸻

Donation Impact (approximately)

$10 = hygiene kits for 2 families

$25 = food and water for 1 family

$50 = food, water, and hygiene supplies for 3–4 families

$100 = full care packages for 8–10 families

I’d love for you to be part of this mission of love!

As Jesus said in Matthew 25:35–36:

“For I was hungry and you gave Me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink, I was a stranger, and you invited Me in.”

Let’s come together as the hands and feet of Jesus — to bring comfort, compassion, and care to those who need it most.

Love y'all so much!

Please pray for the people of the Philippines and for my mission.
