Help for Filipino youth

Helping the children and people of the Philippines is a passion for TenPercentDown Founder and President Chuck Salisbury.

His Salisbury Foundation is aimed at helping disadvantaged youth receive food, clothing, shelter, medical help and education.

"Today, I ask for your immediate help for a few safety and personal needs for a few of my students," Salisbury said. "I can't afford to delay their needs any further.

"I hope that you can provide the few dollars needed to keep them safe."

Salisbury continues...

"Juvy Segovia is a student in Davao, Philippines that also has a serious health issue. Juvy has liver stones which is not serious here but is life threatening in the Philippines because people can’t afford medical care or medicine. The medicine cost is only $50 a week and she has to take it another two weeks minimum. Without medicine she will die. I know that from personal experience because I lost one young student earlier this year in Manila because I didn't take this problem seriously. When your liver shuts down your blood becomes dirty and it is a painful death. So, can you help her with this immediate need.

Charry Mae Dunaluaron is now 18 and was a student living with her sister, but had to leave that home for personal safety reasons. She contacted me by email and told me that she was now on the street, so I provided her money to get a room in a boarding house and some food. She wants to start a business to sell food to local workers and make enough to live. The cost to start that business is about $200. Hopefully, she can find time to go back to school.

Jessibel Dablio is also one of my students who was kicked out of her family home and lives on the street now. Living on the streets is very dangerous. I sent a little money for food but she also needs a room in a boarding house. A room is about $50 a month, but I need to send her enough for a bus ticket to join Charry Mae so they can be together and build a small food business together.

May Ritual is a senior in q Manila high school. She lives with her mother, 2-years-old sister, and 6-years-old brother. The brother has asthma and has trouble breathing often. The mother has no work so I have been helping the family. Any amount for money to buy food would be a blessing to this wonderful family.

The need is so great and the people of the Philippines are our friends for many years. Thank you for reading my appeal and I hope you will pray about this."
