Dear friends, family, and community,

As we may know, the Philippines, including my island where I grew up, got hit by a devastating flood and earthquake back to back this past month. While the community is resilient, many families, including my own, have been directly impacted and are facing immense challenges. Homes were destroyed, and unfortunately, a few lives were lost because of the disaster.

I've created this GoFundMe to help cover immediate needs like food, water, clothing, medicine, and temporary lodging for those in need in my community. Any amount will go a long way to help. It takes a village to build one. Let's share what we can as it's close to Christmas time. It's time to share our blessings with those in need. May God bless you all and keep you safe. Thank you very much.
