Right now, many families are facing loss, uncertainty, and sleepless nights after the impact of 𝐁𝐚𝐠𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐲𝐚𝐧𝐠. Homes are damaged, resources are scarce, and communities are trying to hold on to hope.

In response, 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 – 𝐈𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐧 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫, together with Youth Service Philippines - Iligan Chapter, Akbayan Youth - Iligan & Lanao and Rotaract Club of Iligan Bay are humbly knocking on your hearts to help us extend relief.

Our efforts are focused on 𝐜𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬, 𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡-𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 that have become places of refuge for those who have nowhere else to go.

𝐍𝐨 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥. What may seem little to us can mean food on the table, dry clothes, or comfort to someone who has lost so much.
