Super Typhoon Tino has left my family and friends in the Philippines facing unimaginable hardship. The storm destroyed their homes, stripped away roofs, and left them with almost nothing. With no insurance and all sources of income lost—including farming and animals—these families are struggling to meet even their most basic needs. Communication is nearly impossible, and I’m relying on sporadic updates through social media, hoping every day for a sign that they’re safe.

In addition to the typhoon, a significant 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck the southern Philippines on October 10, 2025, causing a tsunami warning, fatalities, and further damage. These back-to-back disasters have made recovery even more difficult for my loved ones. Right now, I’m raising funds to support 10 families, many with young children, who are facing the aftermath of these calamities. They have lost their belongings, have no dry clothes, and are exposed to sickness from staying wet and cold. Food and clean water are scarce and prices have skyrocketed, making it even harder for them to recover. The first priority is to provide emergency shelter, food, and water so they can begin to rebuild their lives and protect their children from further harm.

Every donation will go directly to helping these families survive the immediate crisis and start the long process of recovery. I will post updates as I receive more information. Your support will make a real difference for people who have lost everything and are fighting to stay safe and healthy in the wake of these disasters.
