Hi everyone,

While filming in the North Manila Cemetery, I met Beth—a kind, resilient woman who lives among the tombs with her family.

They’ve spent their whole lives here—surrounded by tombs, sleeping beside graves, and doing what they can to survive. Beth makes a living by cleaning tombs. That’s her only source of income. There’s no steady work, no government support, and no way they can afford to live anywhere else.

This isn’t about moving them out.

It’s about helping them live with dignity where they are.

Your donation will go toward:

• Food and basic necessities

• School needs for the kids

• Medical support

• Daily survival costs

Beth never asked for help. But after spending time with her family and seeing their reality up close, I knew I had to try something.

If this story moved you, please consider donating or sharing.

All funds will go directly to Beth and her family.

Thank you so much.
