Chummy Chum Brings Joy and Comfort to Children Affected by Fire

6 March 2025

Purok Sitio Masagana Brgy Alabang Muntinlupa.

Chummy Chum recently visited children from slum areas who were affected by a devastating house fire last Monday.

These children with their families are temporarily staying at the basketball court of the Tuloy sa Don Bosco facility, where the local government unit (LGU) has provided a large tent for each family to ensure their privacy. Since Tuesday, the families have been receiving aid from several good Samaritans, who have offered essential supplies. Among others, Chummy Chum’s visit was special for its unique approach to bringing comfort and joy to the children.

Chummy Chum’s main goal for this visit is to lift the children's spirits. Providing hot meals is an essential plus. Popcorn, loot bags, toys, coloring books, pillows, stuffed bears, and balloons were just some of the things that made the day special for the children. The highlight of the visit was when Chummy Chum danced with the children, creating an atmosphere of joy and relief. This act of kindness helped ease the trauma they had endured from the fire.

The children expressed their heartfelt gratitude to Chummy Chum for the time, love, and effort dedicated to brightening their day. For many of them, the visit helped replace some of the toys they had lost in the fire, offering a small sense of comfort during a difficult time.

The support didn’t stop there. The visit was also made possible thanks to generous donations, including lovely Bears of Joy from SM City Sucat and brand-new house house garments from Clearlogic Inc.

These thoughtful gestures remind us of the importance of helping children cope in the aftermath of traumatic events. By providing not only basic needs but also emotional support through play, laughter, and kindness, Chummy Chum and the community are making a lasting impact on these children’s healing process.
