Fight To Build a Better Future
Imagine trying to raise your child in a place that offers no refuge, no warmth—a place that feels suffocating instead of safe. This is the heartbreaking reality for Mariel's family. A brave single mother, doing everything in her power to protect her child, struggles to keep her 7-month-old baby girl safe, alongside her parents, in a small, crumbling shelter that can barely hold them.
Fight To Build a Better Future
Imagine trying to raise your child in a place that offers no refuge, no warmth—a place that feels suffocating instead of safe. This is the heartbreaking reality for Mariel's family.
Tucked away in the rural village of Kuguita, Mambajao, Camiguin, Mariel's family is trapped in a living nightmare. They reside in a tiny, decaying house—its roof leaks with every rainfall, and the wooden walls are crumbling beneath the weight of time. Thin, rotting wood barely holds the structure together, patched up with tattered tarpaulins and scrap materials that only offer a false sense of protection.
There’s barely enough room for all four of them to sleep, let alone dream, laugh, or grow. In the absence of a real kitchen or bathroom, they are left with a small corner outside—an exposed, unsanitary space where they struggle to bathe and find what little privacy they can. The muddy ground is a constant reminder of their harsh reality, where even basic sanitation is a daily battle.
There is no comfort. No safety. And the most gut-wrenching part of all: Mariel’s baby girl, whose tiny body shivers through the night, feeling the bitter cold as the wind sneaks through the gaps in the walls. A little one, too young to understand the hardships, yet suffering every moment.
With each passing day, the baby’s needs grow, while Mariel faces the impossible task of choosing between food for her family or materials to repair their broken home. The weight of these choices presses down on her every day.
But through it all, Mariel holds on to hope—quietly, determinedly, for the sake of her child. She dreams of a better life—a life where her daughter can grow up in safety, where their home isn’t a constant reminder of their struggle. A real home, one where they don’t have to fear the storms, the insects, or the shame of not having basic human dignity.
But she can’t do it alone. They need help.
Your support can turn their reality into something better. Together, we can give Mariel and her family the hope and safety they so desperately deserve.

Out of all the families we’ve encountered, Mariel’s story is the one that has broken our hearts the most.
We met a mother who is doing everything in her power to give her child a life filled with love and protection. Despite the overwhelming odds, she shields her daughter from the worst of their circumstances, clinging to hope with every ounce of strength she has left. But no matter how hard she tries, life has been unbearably cruel. She is a underprivileged single young mother, no kitchen to cook, and no bathroom to preserve her family’s dignity.
With your help, we can give Mariel’s family that chance. Not just a shelter—but a home filled with warmth, security, and love. A place where hope is no longer a dream, but a reality.
Mariel and her family never asked for anything more than a chance.
A chance for her baby girl to crawl on a clean floor, free from the filth that surrounds them.
A chance to sleep through the night without the fear that rain will soak their only bed.
A chance knowing they are safe from the storms that rage both outside and within their walls.
This isn’t just about building walls and a roof. It’s about restoring dignity and offering safety,
We believe that everyone deserves a home—a place where they can feel secure, and valued.

We chose to stand with Mariel’s family because they’ve asked for so little—just a chance.
A chance for her baby girl to crawl on a clean floor, free from the filth that surrounds them.
A chance for a hardworking mother and father to finally breathe, knowing they are safe from the storms that rage both outside and within their walls.
A chance to sleep through the night without the fear that rain will soak their only bed.
This isn’t just about building walls and a roof. It’s about restoring dignity. It’s about offering safety, security, and opportunity to a family that has been forgotten by the world.
We believe that everyone deserves a home—a place where they can feel secure, loved, and valued. Especially those who fight every single day just to survive.
Mariel, a young mother with a 7-month-old baby, faced daily challenges as she did her best to care for her child. With limited resources, she often found herself overwhelmed with worry, unsure of how to provide the comfort and necessities her baby needed. The weight of responsibility was heavy, and the struggle to meet even the most basic needs for her child left her feeling exhausted and unsure of where to turn for help.
Born to Be Wealthy Foundation stepped in at a time when Mariel needed support the most. Our team arrived with practical and thoughtful gifts to help ease her burden. We provided a new mattress for her baby, offering a safe, comfortable place for her child to sleep. A mosquito tent was included to protect her little one from the dangers of insect bites, and a stand fan was delivered to help keep the room cool and comfortable during the hot and humid days.
In addition to these essentials, we provided clean and cozy pillows and bedsheets to add extra comfort for her baby. A stroller was also donated to Mariel, making it easier for her to take her baby on walks and outings, with her little one securely close by.
Knowing how quickly the costs of baby essentials can add up, Born to Be Wealthy Foundation also supplied Mariel with baby food, milk, and diapers—key items that were vital for her baby’s health and well-being. We didn't stop there; we also provided gentle baby wipes, baby lotion, and baby shampoo to help Mariel keep her child clean and comfortable.
Through these gifts, Born to Be Wealthy Foundation was able to meet the immediate needs of Mariel and her baby. What once felt like an overwhelming burden became more manageable, as Mariel saw firsthand that she and her baby were not alone. Our foundation's support gave her not just the material things she needed, but a renewed sense of hope and confidence in her ability to care for her child.
However, we recognize that Mariel’s current living conditions are unsafe and unsanitary. The space is not only unsuitable for a growing family but also puts them at constant risk for diseases and health issues. The environment is vulnerable to mold, pests, and waterborne illnesses—risks that are especially dangerous for a baby.
The foundation is now committed to helping Mariel and her baby take the next step toward a better life by working to provide them with a safe and comfortable home. We are seeking support to help build a new home for them—one that offers proper sanitation, more space, and a secure environment, free from the health risks that come with their current living conditions.
This is the essence of what Born to Be Wealthy Foundation stands for—uplifting families, providing practical support, and creating lasting impact one family at a time. The foundation's mission is not just to give, but to heal, to bring hope, and to make a tangible difference in the lives of those who need it most. For Mariel and her baby, the foundation’s help has already made a meaningful difference, and with continued support, we can help take things to the next level, offering them a brighter future and a place to call home—one that is healthy, safe, and full of hope.

We are raising $16,000 to build a safe, sturdy, and loving home for Mariel’s family—one that can finally give them peace, privacy, and protection from the elements.
This isn't just about bricks and wood.
It’s about building a foundation for a better future—a place where her child can grow up safely, where the baby can take her first steps on solid ground, and where a family can rest at night without fearing the next typhoon.
The funds will go toward:
A real roof that doesn't leak
A strong, typhoon-resilient structure
Separate rooms for sleeping and living
A functional, clean kitchen for preparing meals
A proper bathroom with running water
Basic electrical and lighting setup
Secure doors and windows to keep the family safe
A place they can finally call home

Framing (3–4 weeks)
Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP)
Rough-In (3–4 weeks)
Insulation and Drywall (2–3 weeks)
Interior and Exterior Finishes (4–5 weeks)
Final Inspections and Move-In Preparation (2–3 weeks)
