With Chummy Chum, schedules are written in pencil, never in ink. Plans may change without warning, because when urgent need calls—especially in times of fire and loss—compassion always comes first.
The team usually prepares for an outreach at least a week ahead. But when a sudden calamity struck the families along Magdaong Road in Barangay Poblacion, Muntinlupa City, the original plans were gently set aside. The children of fire-stricken families needed more than a date on a calendar—they needed comfort, warmth, and hope.
So Chummy Chum arrived not only with food and clothing, but with something far more magical: joy.
The day began with kind and encouraging words from the team leader, planting seeds of hope in tender hearts. Soon, laughter bloomed. The children played lively games, their giggles rising like music in the air. Each child chose a toy to treasure, received a warm meal to fill their tummies, and carried home a bag of simple surprises.
And then came the moment they would never forget.
When Chummy Chum danced and played beside them, the children’s eyes sparkled. For a little while, the ashes of yesterday felt far away. In that bright and beautiful moment, they felt seen. They felt loved. They felt special.
Many groups—public and private—offered essential aid during the crisis. But Chummy Chum brought a different kind of help: the kind that turns sorrow into smiles and creates happy memories even after the smoke has cleared. This is the Charity of Love that Chummy Chum shares.
Grateful hearts filled the day. The community thanked Chummy Chum for easing sadness with simple acts of kindness.
Special thanks to SM City Sucat, Zamony Venture Corporation, Essential Layer Inc., and the generous donors who shared pre-loved toys and clothes.
Because in times of loss, it is not only the help that arrives that matters—
