​My name is Marlo Manuel, and I'm a small content creator based here in California.

​Like many of you, I've been watching the news from the Philippines with an absolutely heavy heart. The devastation from the typhoon in Cebu is overwhelming. Seeing the videos of families losing their homes and entire livelihoods in these unprecedented flash floods is truly heartbreaking.

​Even though I'm thousands of miles away, I know that my platform—no matter the size—gives me a voice and a responsibility to help when I see others in crisis. I can't just scroll past this. I am starting this GoFundMe to use our community to make a real, direct impact.
