Help Ana get out of her flooded home
Hi all,
I was in the Philippines recently. It rained and rained. My friend Ana's place was already leaking in the rain but then it got flooded throughout.
I have created a Give-a-little page for her in order to help her move from her flooded home into a dry home so she and her daughter have a safe place to live.
Ana is a 41 year old mother in the Philippines. She is currently living near Manilla, far from her home in Leyte in order to support her daughter at university. Ana does not have the qualification to get a decent job and relies on selling breakfast on the street. This provides a barely sufficient income. Her current two room rental leaks badly in the rain and she wants to move to somewhere drier and closer to the university. Recently due to extra heavy rains her entire neighbourhood flooded. This flooded her house throughout. She has no money to move. I want to raise enough funds for her to move and to help her survive the rest of the year.
Here is the link to the page.

Many thanks

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.9% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
