#AmbaganNa2020: A Donation Drive for the Street Dwellers and Basuheroes of Las Pi

No matter who you are or what you do, you may contribute something for the community during this COVID-19 crisis. Yes, you didn't have to be on the frontline to help beat this pandemic.

This COVID-19 pandemic has not just caused a lot of casualties but also households to lose their livelihood and income. A group of friends has started the initiative on calling for donations to be given on the most affected families in Las Piñas City, focusing on the street dwellers and basuheroes (or the garbage collectors).

It is named as "Ambagan Na" or in English, "Contribute Now". This donation drive initially aimed to collect at least PHP 10,000.00 to provide food packs for 100 families but a lot of people showed their support and generosity that they were able to reach a total of PHP 55,000.00 in just a day! Thus, they will extend more help to 100 more families. 

They closed their donation drive after a day and started buying and repacking the goods so they can immediately deliver them to those in need.

You may see more of their updates at bit.ly/AmbaganNa or through their social media accounts - @_carylsarita, @ocampokaye, @_ejfs on Twitter.

There are hundreds of more donations happening in the Philippines to fight for this COVID-19. You may search #ReliefPH on Twitter for more.
