The Philippines is made up of 7,641 islands (only 2,000 are inhabited). It is regularly battered by tropical storms and monsoon-induced flooding. These natural occurrences make up almost two-thirds of all recorded disasters from 2000 to 2024.

How you can help!
Jovelyn's lungs are filled with water and she needs oxygen consistently and takes medication to alleviate her condition. Her husband was killed in a hit-and-run, her oldest child hung herself because of their dire circumstances.
We provided a bit of cash to replenish her oxygen and buy some medicine. We'd like to help her with a month's worth of prescription medications and a portable machine to extract oxygen from the air:
2 weeks of medicine = $75
Portable Oxygen Concentrator = $1,225*
TOTAL Cost = $1,300
Please watch the video at right and donate if you can.
*NOTE: The cost to refill an oxygen tank is a little over $20/day. The concentrator cost is the equivalent of two months' oxygen but will last many times that.
Jovelyn is in the hospital and
we just paid for a
needed blood transfusion (3 bags of blood).
TOTAL Cost = $100
