My name is Earl, and I am a single father from the Philippines raising my 7-year-old son on my own.

Life has become incredibly difficult for us. I lost my source of income, and because I have no one to care for my son, I have been unable to find stable work. There are days when we have gone without food, and every day I worry about how I will provide for him.

Out of desperation, I accepted construction work even though it meant bringing my young son with me because I had no one else to leave him with. The worksite was dangerous for a child. After several days, he became sick, and his feet were covered with painful wounds from walking around the construction area. Seeing my son suffer while I was only trying to earn enough for our survival broke my heart.

We are also struggling with hospital expenses and other essential needs. Every peso has become a challenge, and despite trying everything I can, I have not been able to get back on my feet.

I am creating this fundraiser with humility and hope. Your support will help us pay for food, medical needs, safe housing, and my son's education while I continue searching for stable work and rebuilding our lives.

I am not asking for luxury—only for the opportunity to keep my son safe, healthy, and hopeful for the future.

If you are unable to donate, sharing our story with others would mean just as much. Every act of kindness brings us one step closer to a fresh start.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to read our story and for any support you can give. May God bless you and your family.
