A Heartwarming Gesture of Hope for the Children of Brgy. Sitio Pulo

14 March 2025

Brgy. Sitio Pulo, Binan, Laguna

The Chummy Chum Foundation recently received a generous donation of grocery bags, and immediately, they knew where these bags were needed most – with the children of Brgy. Sitio Pulo, a community that has faced many hardships.

Last year, this village was severely affected by flooding when heavy rains overwhelmed their area, which is located near a creek. As the water slowly receded in January, it seemed like the community could begin to heal, but just when they thought things were getting back to normal, disaster struck again. Last week, a devastating fire affected half of the homes in the area, leaving many families without shelter.

Despite these overwhelming challenges, the spirit of the children and families in Brgy. Sitio Pulo remains strong.

The Chummy Chum Foundation received numerous messages from the community, asking for help and support – and they listened.

Today, Chummy Chum didn’t just bring hot meals like champurrado and juice; they also brought gifts to brighten the children’s spirits. The children received pillows to rest their tired heads, colorful balloons to bring joy, and toys to remind them that even in tough times, there is still room for play and happiness. Chummy Chum also distributed rice and groceries to help with the daily needs of the families.

The most heartwarming moment of the day was when the children got to meet Chummy Chum in person and share in a fun dance. Their laughter and smiles were a reminder that, even in the face of hardship, there’s always a reason to celebrate and find joy.

A heartfelt thank you goes to Geschaft Equipment Corporation for the donation of the grocery bags, and to SM City Sucat for their generous gift of Bears of Joy that made the children’s day even brighter.

For the children of Brgy. Sitio Pulo, today was a reminder that even though life can be difficult, they are never alone. With the kindness of others and their own resilience, they will continue to rise above every challenge.
