This is Raicen's story:

I’m going through the hardest time of my life. I’m from the Philippines, and right now, I am struggling to support my family with food and the supplies that we need. My father lost his job and my mother only sells fish at the market, earning about $5 a day. It’s not enough to support our family of five siblings, plus my one nephew.

Recently, we were hit by a typhoon. We live in a small house, sleep on the floor, and now we have almost nothing to eat. Because of recent donations we've been able to get something built and a good start to building back up and helping my Father find a job, but we haven’t slept properly because of hunger.

I’m struggling to stay strong, but I'm hoping there are people that are willing to help. Any donation to help us get groceries and basic necessities would mean the world to us. Please, if you can, help us survive this difficult time.
