Breaking the cycle, one shopping trip at a time.
Help a Filipino Kid Today

One donation.
One child's day, changed.

Every dollar you give buys food, clothes, or school supplies for a real child in the Philippines — and we film every shopping trip so you can see exactly where your kindness went.

Our Mission

Who we are, and why we do this

Real people. Real shopping trips. Real videos.

I'm Ed. I live in the USA. A few years back I met a Filipina named Mavie — we've been together over two years and I visit the Philippines at least twice a year, with plans to retire there.

My friend Levi recently met a Filipina too, and they're joining us on this mission. We travel a lot, and on every trip we've found ourselves helping kids who have far less than we do. So we decided to make it official.

We're building a Facebook channel where every donation gets its own video — you'll see the child, the shopping trip, and the smile. You'll be recognized by name on every video you fund (unless you'd rather stay anonymous — your call, always).

How It Works

From your wallet to a child's hands

No middlemen. No overhead. Just three steps from your donation to a real shopping trip with a real kid.

1

You Donate

Click the donate button, choose any amount ($20 is plenty). We accept any contribution that helps a child.

2

We Go Shopping

On our next Philippines trip, we find a child in need and take them shopping for food, clothes, or supplies they're missing.

3

You See the Video

The whole trip gets filmed and posted to our Facebook channel — with your name attached, unless you'd rather stay anonymous.
