ADRA Philippines Update

Violito and his three children live in Northern Cebu. His wife died of colon cancer back in February 2013 which took all the family savings for medical expenses. Violito is a poor farm laborer with a meager income, no other support or means of making a livelihood. Then on November 8, 2013 Typhoon Haiyan badly smashed their home. This left the grieving family homeless. Violito managed to gather salvaged materials to construct an A-shape makeshift tent where he and his children could find a little bit of shelter. He is still grateful in spite of all that happened because they are still alive. He was so thankful for what he has received from ADRA. “This is such a big help and my first time to receive this big bag of food. ADRA didn't just help me and my family but you really made us feel that you care”, said Violito with a tear in his eye. Thank you for your continued support so we can help more people like Violito.
