I am from Medellin, Cebu and my town has been deeply affected by the recent earthquake. While many homes are still standing, walls are cracked and aftershocks continue to be felt. Families—especially children and the elderly—are too afraid to sleep inside, fearing their houses could collapse at any moment.

Every night, people lie on the ground in fields or under makeshift covers. Some children try to stay warm under thin sheets of plastic because there are no tents or safe shelters and its raining. Clean drinking water and food are running out fast.

Sadly, help is not reaching our area. My community feels forgotten. That’s why I have created this page—to bring direct aid to my village, ensuring that support goes where it is most urgently needed.

Your donations will provide:

• Clean drinking water

• Food for children and families

• Tents and safe shelter

• Other urgent essentials

Even the smallest donation will help families survive this crisis. Please also share this campaign widely so more people can hear their cries for help.

From the bottom of my heart—thank you for caring for the people of Medellin, Cebu and for helping us through this difficult time.
