Hello, my name is Jufen, and I currently live in Minnesota, where I work as a teacher.
I am raising funds to support families (that includes my family back home were I grow up) also a school, and the wider community that were severely affected by the recent flooding caused by Typhoon Basyang in Mindanao, Philippines.
The flood destroyed homes, school supplies, clothing, and basic necessities. Many families—including children and students—are currently staying in evacuation centers, with very limited access to food, clean water, and learning materials. Schools were not spared, and many students are struggling to continue their education after losing everything.
As an educator, this situation deeply breaks my heart. Education and community support should never stop—even in times of disaster. This fundraiser is my way of helping families rebuild, children return to learning, and communities begin again with dignity and hope..
Any support you can offer will greatly help us provide safety, food, and basic needs for these family during this difficult time. Your kindness and generosity will make a real difference as we work to rebuild and recover from this devastating storm. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a real difference. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser and keeping these families in your prayers is already a huge help. Thank you for standing with us during this difficult time and Thank you so much for considering helping us.
How the funds will be used:
• School supplies and learning materials for students
• Food, clean water, and basic necessities for families
• Clothing, hygiene kits, and sleeping materials
• Community and school clean-up & recovery support
