Last November 5, 2025, our beloved hometown, Cebu, was once again struck by a devastating calamity. Typhoon Kalmaegi (Tino) brought heavy rains and severe flooding that left many homes damaged, roads impassable, and countless families displaced. Tragically, some lives were also lost in this heartbreaking disaster.

Even though I am far away, my heart remains with our community. Seeing the pain and struggles of our fellow Cebuanos moved me to take action to help, even in my own small way. But I know that together, we can make a greater difference.

I am humbly reaching out to family, friends, and anyone with a generous heart to lend a helping hand to the typhoon victims in Cebu. Your kind donations, no matter how small, can go a long way in providing basic necessities such as rice, canned goods, medicines, and most importantly, clean drinking water.

In times like these, compassion and unity can bring light to those who are facing darkness. Let us stand together and bring hope, comfort, and relief to those who are trying to rebuild their lives after this tragedy.

Every act of kindness matters. Let’s show our love and care for Cebu.

Thank you so much! Victoria Finnerty and Gabby Abyth
