Riva, one of our dedicated virtual marketing assistants, is facing an unimaginable crisis after Typhoon Kalmaegi caused massive flooding in Liloan, Cebu, Philippines. She, her husband, and their newborn baby were stranded on their roof for over 18 hours, waiting for help as the storm devastated their neighborhood. The rising waters destroyed their home, leaving them with almost nothing and nowhere safe to stay.

Right now, Riva’s family urgently needs temporary shelter and food. With very little access to local aid or support, they are relying on the kindness of others to get through these first difficult days. Their immediate priority is to keep their newborn safe and healthy, while also ensuring that the family has a roof over their heads and enough to eat. The stress and uncertainty have been overwhelming, but Riva continues to do her best for her family despite the circumstances.

Adding to their worries, another super typhoon is expected to hit the region this weekend, putting families in Liloan, Cebu at even greater risk. Once their basic needs are met, Riva and her husband hope to begin repairing their home so they can rebuild their lives. Every donation will help them recover from this disaster, providing the essentials they need now and a foundation for the future. Your support will make a real difference for a family who has lost so much and is determined to start again.
