Hello, my name is Maryellen, I am a student and live in Ypsilanti, MI. My mom is from the Philippines and most of our family still lives there. On Saturday 12/18/2021, Typhoon Rai came through the Philippines and has destroyed my family's home. They have no roof, walls, running water, electricity, or food. My family is trying to get everyone together so that we can help them fix their home, get food/water, and other necessities. We have family we still have not heard from yet... If you would like to help, please donate, any amount helps. The current conversion rate for $1 is 49 ph pesos. Thank you all so much!

All donations will be sent directly to my family in the Philippines.

I tried to upload the photos on gofundme, but they were "too small" and terrible quality.
