In just two months in 2025, Cebu faced one disaster after another. While many families were still recovering from the 6.9 earthquake, Typhoon Tino brought devastating floods that claimed over 130 lives, with many still missing. Homes were swept away, food supplies were lost, and access to clean water became scarce. For countless families, rebuilding has become a daily struggle as even the most basic necessities remain out of reach.
In response to this urgent need, we redirected our 2025 end-of-year campaign to launch the Redeeming Zoe Relief Fund. Our goal is to raise $5,000 to provide immediate relief for families affected by these disasters and to strengthen our ability to respond to future emergencies.
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, $2,600 was raised in 2025, and we continue to welcome donations as we work toward reaching our goal. Every gift helps bring practical support, relief, and renewed hope to families who need it most.
How Your Gift of Hope Rebuilds Communities
The danger of calamities doesn’t end when the storm passes or the shaking stops. For families — especially for young children — the hardest part often comes afterward. Children are too young to understand why their home is gone, why there is no food, or why clean water is suddenly out of reach. These memories shape their childhood, and ultimately, who they will become. Without help, the pain of today can become the trauma of their future.
This is why Redeeming Zoe is stepping in. Protecting the next generation has always been at the heart of our mission. And in times like these, safeguarding their future begins with helping their families survive today.
Through the Redeeming Zoe Relief Fund, our team can respond swiftly and prepare essential relief packs for affected communities. This allows us to purchase food, clean drinking water, and medicines, and to partner with other organizations for packing and distribution. The fund also supports the volunteers who give their time and strength — helping cover travel and meal expenses as they bring hope right to the families who need it most.
The Redeeming Zoe Relief Fund reflects our commitment to being prepared and present in times of disaster. Through this fund, we are able to respond with compassion and practical support for families facing crisis, reminding communities that they are not forgotten and that hope remains even in the most difficult moments.
Starting over is never easy — especially for children whose world has been shaken. But together, we can help protect their future and rebuild their hope.
Your giving today can help a family rebuild tomorrow. 💙
Your gift today brings hope, safety, and life-changing support to children and families who need them the most.
