Help Villanueva Family due to Fire & Family Loss
Donation protected
Our names are Bernadine and Joanne. We are reaching out to anyone who is willing to help us rebuild the lives of our aunt, our uncle, and our cousins who lost everything they owned in a deadly fire in the Philippines in the town of Pozorrubio, where they also lost their son, daughter-in-law, and their 3 young children.
Around midnight on Sunday, April 3rd, an enormous fire took our family’s entire home and their belongings. The only home they’ve ever known has been burnt to ashes.
In addition to losing their home, it also tragically took the lives of 5 very important people in our family: our cousin, Mark, his wife, Dixie, and their three small children, McKenxie, McKairie, and Keziah (ages 6, 2, and 1 respectively). When their bodies were found, they were seen hugging each other, even in their last moments.
We are asking for any sort of financial assistance with this GoFundMe to get our family back on their feet and to simply have a sense of normalcy during this devastating time in their lives: for their daily necessities, food, and clothing. Big or small donations, even just your positive words - any and all of it helps and it truly does make a difference.
Our family has suffered an unimaginable loss; no words can describe how we are all feeling. We whole-heartedly thank everyone, and are so grateful for your support and generosity towards our family.
With deepest gratitude,
Bernadine, Joanne, and Family
