While many of us are fortunate enough to earn a living, or eligible for financial relief from the government during the Covid-19 global outbreak, people who live in isolated regions of the Philippines experience additional hardship, as regional restrictions and lock-downs make it all the more difficult to provide for their families as for those who live in cities and more modernized areas.
Food continues to be scarce and desperately needed. As a result, LampsUSA is preparing to make its second donation in August. This donation will assist local relief efforts in rural Mindanao, Philippines where access to food and conveniences are difficult to reach.
To helps those who endure the additional pressure of living in an isolated community, the LampsUSA Cares Project began in April 2020, and continues to provide assistance to more than 200 families.
Ed Lecciones, a local relief organizer commented, "I am just overwhelmed with gratitude! Indigent families are [those] most affected right now because of community lock downs," [they] have no work, no pay . . . and help from the government hasn't arrived yet. Just the other day, some neighbors of ours asked for help because her infant child had no milk. I gave them a carton of milk, since I have some in stock for my own children. Knowing that more help is coming is a big relief!"
We are truly grateful for the continued support of our customers who make it possible for us to provide such needed support on their behalf. I want everyone we do business with to know how much your purchase improves the lives of people who have been adversely impacted by this pandemic.
Thanks to each and every one of you.
Steve Brielmaier
President
