Story
On Tuesday 3rd of April a devastating fire spread across the Barangay Tabok in Cebu where Jane grew up and her family still reside.
The fire took their belongings, their pets and their homes with barely a few walls left it will take a lot of support to help rebuild their lives. Both her Aunties homes are gone which was shared with her cousins, while her brother who has a wife and 2 amazing children, now have no permanent home and little belongings.
In an effort to help we plan to send 2 boxes of clothes to Cebu in the coming weeks, followed by our goal of achieving 500 pounds (the more we raise the more difference we can make) to help contribute to x3 homes.
The money will be sent to our trusted friend Lolit Geray who is currently assisting the emergency response team by distributing basic essentials and emergency food. Lolit will split the money equally to help buy materials to work towards building new homes. This is a close family with the Perez clan covering most of the area, Jane's brother Ricky was part of the emergency response and managed to work hard to save the family home. We are sending Ricky a new pair of hardwearing working boots to make sure he keeps up the amazing work which he has done to prevent further devastation.
Thankfully no one was hurt but homes are gone and we need your help. We would like to ask if you could give a little support to help us while we;

6 years agoJane and I cycled to Falkirk. We followed Google Map and added about half a day to our journey not on the cycle path as planned! We then crashed into each other on a cycle path, her fault, my fault who cares, bikes were damaged and so was Jane's arm. We kept going to reach Falkirk with everything closed and me burnt to a crisp! A decision had been made to take the train back and finish the journey another day... only there were no trains from Camelon. We crawled, walked and sort of cycled up to Falkirk High and took train back to Glasgow....
