Story
Tacio Yebra is an 80 year old ice cream vendor from Mandaluyong City, Philippines. He lives on the streets with his daughter who is still dependent on him due to her mental illness. Despite his very old age, he still pushes his old and worn out ice cream cart for miles every single day whatever the weather, it be intense heat, harsh winds, or heavy rain. He does not stop working, for he needs to earn money to feed himself and his daughter. Such a hardworking and selfless man deserves much better

9 years agoThank you so much for helping Lolo Tacio! We raised £310 (which is the equivalent of PHP 21,598 as per Western Union's conversion). You have made Lolo Tacio very happy, and hopeful for the future! Jayee has very kindly assisted Lolo Tacio with the allocation of the money. They paid for Lolo Tacio's rent and utilities for the next 4 months. They also bought him new shoes, food, toiletries, household items, and medicine for his daughter. Most importantly, they also bought equipment and stock for Lolo Tacio's new business - a fishball cart! He will be selling fishballs, kikiam, hotdogs and squidballs. We're hopeful that his new venture will be a success! If you would like to reach out to Lolo Tacio again and offer some additional help, please don't hesitate to e-mail me (mailto: sbdelacruz92@gmail.com) God bless you!

9 years agoIf you are donating from the Philippines, you will need to convert your donation into one of the available currencies. For example, a donation of PHP100 converts to GBP1.40, therefore, when you donate, you will need to select GBP as the currency, and enter 1.40 as the amount.

9 years agoHi everyone, thank you all so so much for your kindness and generosity! For those who are thinking of donating, please be mindful of the currency you will be donating in, as unfortunately, Philippine peso is not an option.
