🎄 Christmas for the Natives: A Heartwarming Celebration in Iram, Philippines 🎄
📅 December 5th & 6th, 2025
📍 Iram I and Iram II Schools, Philippines
What began with a few candies, toys, and coins for 50 Aeta children has now grown into a tradition of love and hope. This year marks our 4th Christmas for the Natives, and our dream is bigger than ever.
✨ The Vision
We will gather in the mountains of Iram to bless 900 children across two schools with shoes, school supplies, toys, food packs, and giveaways. More than gifts, we want to create a day filled with laughter, games, and memories that remind these children they are seen, loved, and celebrated.
💖 Why We Do This
The Aetas—the first Filipino people—walk miles each day to attend school, fueled only by determination and resilience. Seeing their joy in past celebrations has left an imprint on my heart. I made a vow to return, again and again, to bring the light of Christmas into their lives.
🌟 Our Goal
To make this dream possible, we are raising $15,000 for this year’s program. These funds will cover shoes, school supplies, toys, food packs, and giveaways for all 900 children and their families.
💌 How You Can Help
This dream is big, but I know it’s possible with your help. Every contribution will directly impact these children and their families. From the bottom of my heart, I would deeply appreciate your donations—every gift, big or small, will bring joy and hope to these children this Christmas.
