Hi everyone, my name is Domenica Peragine Gomez and I'm reaching out with a heavy heart. My mother's hometown, Bogo City in Cebu, Philippines, was recently devastated by a powerful 6.9 magnitude earthquake on September 30, 2025 at around 10 in the evening. In fact, as of right now they are still experiencing continuous shakes and tremors of the said tragic event. Many families, including my own relatives and neighbors, have lost their homes and are struggling to access basic necessities like food, clean water, and hygiene supplies.

Being far from home during this heartbreaking time has been extremely difficult. While we can't be there physically to help, we are doing what we can from afar to support our loved ones and our community. We are humbly asking for your help to raise funds to provide immediate relief and assist in rebuilding what was lost.

Every donation, no matter how small, will go directly towards:

Emergency food and clean water

Basic hygiene kits and sanitation supplies

Temporary shelter and long-term home rebuilding.

If you’re unable to donate, sharing this with your network would mean the world to us.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for standing with Bogo in this time of need. Your kindness and support can help bring hope and healing to those who need it most.

With gratitude,

Peragine Family

I'd like to thank my cousin Rona for her help as well as all family and friends who have reached out to check in my family <3
