Dreams do come true.

The house where Allan and Sonia Antipas lived with their five children and one grandchild was too cramped, but Allan’s income from farming barely sufficed for their needs.

In April 2023, the St Vincent Ferrer Parish’s Team HALAD which constructs houses for Balay sa Kabus built a new house for the family in Purok 4, Brgy Lomangog, Ubay, Bohol. The house is one of 37 funded by TYF’s Super Typhoon Odette rehab project in partnership with the Diocese of Talibon Social Action Center. DSAC Director and the St Vincent Ferrer Parish priest Fr Epifanio Gupita personally blessed and handed over the house to the Antipas family.

Last March 26, the family of Allan del Mar moved into their new house in Kintayan 2, Catungawan Sur, Guindulman, Bohol.

Allan's family is one of 37 recipients of houses from Tanging Yaman Foundation's Super Typhoon Odette rehab funds coursed through the Diocese of Talibon Social Action Center (DSAC).

We thank the Talibon DSAC and Fr John Ricarte Cristal, parish priest of Santa Cruz Parish in Guindulman, who blessed Allan's house and whose parish team of workers and volunteers labored for its construction.

Our Super Typhoon Odette rehab partners often send us before-and-after pictures of the shelter projects, and the results are always striking.

Here, for example, the family of Roberta Pogoy, a farmer with eight children, receives their house after it was blessed by Rev Fr Jude Marvin Gumapac of the St Isidore the Farmer Parish in Camambugan, Ubay, Bohol.

To our dear donors, we want you to know what a huge difference your contributions have made on the lives of many Filipinos. You gave them not just a new house but also renewed hope in God's grace.

We also thank the St Isidore the Farmer Parish and the Diocese of Talibon in Bohol for coordinating the construction of houses for rural families after the typhoon.

Last March 27, five houses were blessed by Fr Teotimo Ugpo of the St Paul Parish in Inabanga, Bohol, and turned over to their beneficiaries:
Rico Salimbangon
Cristina Luga
Melanie Tagsip
Semeona Jusoy
Serafin Torrefiel

Looking at the "Before" photos, we imagine the families dreaming of a more comfortable and durable home where they could rest after a hard day's work, and how this dream seemed so elusive despite their efforts.

Daghan kaayong salamat to our dear donors, and to the Diocese of Talibong Social Action Center and workers and volunteers of the St Paul Parish who labored together to serve those in need.
