The Philippines, with its pristine beaches, breathtaking views, stunning sun sets; and undeniably warm-hearted and friendly people, is still a developing country which causes a devastating impact on the livelihoods of its citizens, especially children.

The infant mortality rate is high; and many children do not have access to housing, nutrition, sanitation or education. It is highlighted that around 45% of the children in the Philippines is severely deprived of at least one of these critical needs.
As a Pinoy wife; and my love for children, I understood the need to get involved; and became a supporter of the Angel House Orphanage. The Angel House, located in San Isidro, takes in abandoned, neglected, abused and orphaned children, from birth to age ten.
They provide a safe and loving home, medical care; and education, to prepare them for a better future. As a registered NGO (Non Governmental Organization) Angel House does not receive any funding from any Philippine governmental agencies. They rely solely on the generosity of people around the world.
Children without families, care and love, are the most vulnerable people in the world.
I know whatever amount I send periodically through Global Giving, will always reach the Angel House. Global Giving is a nonprofit that supports other non-profits; by connecting them to donors and companies. Since 2002, they’ve helped trusted, community-led organizations all over the world; and every donor can make safe and easy US tax-deductible donations.
I also hold an annual book-drive for the children at the Angel House, and send other necessities and surprises, to them. They are sent in a large care package (balikbayan box) through a trusted freight cargo service company, that provides door-to-door delivery; and usually reaches the Angel House within 8 weeks.

The first picture above is of me at home packing a “balikbayan box” and the second picture is of the children at the Angel House enjoying the treats I had sent them.
If you share my dedication to the children of the Angel House, I hope you’ll consider making a donation. Every dollar you contribute is tax-deductible and directly benefits these children in need.
Thank you, Alexandra
