Near midnight on December 16, 2021, Typhoon Rai (locally known as Typhoon Odette) slammed into Benny's Philippine home town of Libo-o, Ronda, Cebu. Thankfully, Benny and his friends & neighbors are okay. Unfortunately, their homes sustained serious damage. Infrastructure such as power and water have been wiped out, and communications are extremely spotty. This is consistent with the widespread damage to the rest of the country. Efforts to restore essential services are expected to take months.
There’s some disaster aid trickling in to communities, but it’s not enough to meet demand and rural villages were already suffering from poverty and food scarcity. We are raising funds to rebuild and meet immediate needs, and also gathering emergency supplies to ship via LBC. Please pray for Benny, his community, and the nation of the Philippines during this time of crisis. Any help is greatly appreciated and all donations are tax-deductible. Donate
