When I was 14 I traveled to the Philippines with my school under the charity PCF (Philippines community fund). Whilst I was out there I met a girl called Andrea and we became firm friends and I now consider her part of my family. I am now 23 and myself and Andrea keep in regular contact and have been through a lot together, she has a little girl who is growing up so fast and when she was born Andrea named her Charlotte (after me). I have been supporting Andrea over the years and raised over £1000 for her Education, and have continued to support her to this day. However last month I relieved a message from her along with these photographs of the damage made from the recent typhoon in Andrea's area, I have contacted the head of the charity Jane Walker and she has informed me that a complete rebuild of her home to make it safe again for Andrea and Charlotte is going to cost £500, and unfortunately this time, I cant do it alone. Thank you for taking the time to read Andrea's story. I am very grateful.
