Humans of #TyphoonOdette - Jacky & Virginia Cuevas
“My grandkid told me “grandma, let’s leave now”, worried the strong winds would destroy the house. So we evacuated that very night… We didn’t wait too long to clean up whatever’s left of my house because it was everywhere. But we were only able to retrieve pillows, some blankets, and a few clothes.”
- Virginia Cuevas, mother-in-law of Jacky Cuevas who lost her home during #TyphoonOdette over Christmas.
“It's really a tough experience and challenging times for us this time. Yeah, it's too much.” – Jacky Cuevas.
Raising four children, serving as the breadwinner of the family, and taking care of her mother-in-law, it’s a wonder Jacky is as composed as she is. She blew us away with her determination and resilience.
Typhoon Odette impacted millions of people across the Philippines this holiday season, including Jacky and her family. Please share Jacky and Virginia’s story, and if you are able to give, please support our fundraiser which is helping families restart in Palawan, Philippines.
If you would like to leave Jacky a personal message, please do so in the comments or when you donate.
