Merlita Rayos, homepartner, shares “Nasira talaga yung bahay namin, naka dapa. Ang maitutulong nyan ay mapapatayo namin ang mga bahay namin, malalagyan ng mga bubong, malaki ang maitutulong niyan talaga sa amin (Our house was destroyed. The shelter kits will help us rebuild our homes, put up a roof, it’s really a big help to us).
