Super Typhoon Yutu Relief
Don protégé
On October 25, 2018 Super Typhoon Yutu, a category 5 typhoon hit the islands of Saipan and Tinian, leaving behind fallen trees and telephone poles, and thousands without a home. Unfortunately, my family is one of those who lost their home to the typhoon -- everything was completely destroyed.
During the entirety of the typhoon, my parents sought shelter under our kitchen table, and were trapped after the walls of our house crushed over them. For hours they waited the storm out until two of our neighbors came back to rescue them. Right now they are living in our car, with nowhere to stay.
Currently my sister (Lizel) and I are in the mainland while our parents are suffering this tragedy back home in Saipan. We both came to the United States to seek a college education, with me at Colorado College and my sister at Kent State University, while also working to help our parents back home.
But my sister and I can't do this alone and we are seeking help from anyone who is willing to help.
The entirety of the money that will be raised from this fundraiser will go back to our parents to help them rebuild our home, as well as getting them food, clothes, toiletries, supplies, etc.
Any amount will help our family.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you in advance.
