Campaign Story
Hello everyone. We lived on Boracay Island for close to a decade and have made many connections with wonderful people and great souls from the island, as well as from the neighboring Aklan and Capiz cities - Ibajay, Roxas City, Kalibo, Panay, among others.
Seeing the devastation from Typhoon Ursula that hit these areas on Christmas Day, a day when residents and locals should have been celebrating, was beyond heartbreaking. So many houses destroyed and livelihoods lost. These small town and rural areas did not expect the typhoon to hit them so hard.
They need the help to rebuild their lives. These are good people that deserve to be given hope and happiness during this season. As Christmastime is a time for giving, we appeal to your good hearts to please donate any amount that you can to help the typhoon victims - even the tiniest amount will help. Donations of clothes will also be much appreciated, you can message me or leave a comment so I can send you more details on how to do this.
We can also accept bank donations if more convenient. These are our bank details:
