NLCOM helps alleviate the loss and despair of fire victims in Barangay Pilar Village, Las Piñas City

NLCOM helps alleviate the loss and despair of fire victims in Barangay Pilar Village, Las Piñas City

carlocarrasco

Recently in the City of Las Piñas, New Life Community Care Foundation International, Inc. (NLCOM) – the compassion arm of New Life Philippines located inside Alabang Hills Village in Muntinlupa City – sent a team to help fire victims in Barangay Pilar Village recover by providing them more assistance and this includes the conducting of Psychological First Aid.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the March 24, 2024 social media post of NLCOM. Some parts in boldface…

As the 125 families affected by the second-alarm fire in Maligaya Compound, Brgy. Pilar, Las Piñas continue to tread their paths to recovery, NLCOM carried on with extending help and ministering to them in the past five weeks.

We were able to promote healthy recuperation in the children by conducting Psychological First Aid, aside from the weekly feeding of hot meals for the families and fun kiddie activities. It was such a sight of grace to see how the kids would excitedly gather as soon as they see the team and would ask for more activities, not wanting it to end. To see the grown-ups grinning while watching the children enjoy and to hear many of them express their appreciation for the time spent with them was truly heartening.

We responded with the desire to alleviate the loss and despair that they are feeling. It may only have been momentary, but the compassion bestowed surely etched a long-lasting mark in their hearts.

For the newcomers reading this, I previously blogged about NLCOM back in 2020 which you can read by clicking here and my most recent blog can viewed by clicking here, here and here. As mentioned earlier, NLCOM has a history of providing relief to disaster victims and helping them rebuild their lives and communities as they recover.

NLCOM is committed to organizing activities from disaster preparedness trainings, relief goods distribution, mobile kitchen feeding operations, Psychological First Aid to kids and adults traumatized by a disaster, and rebuilding of damaged houses. To get to know NLCOM better, I recommend you watch their official YouTube video below…

Recently in the City of Las Piñas, a fire broke out in Maligaya Compound within Barangay Pilar Village which destroyed about thirty homes and left many residents homeless.

In response, New Life Community Care Foundation International, Inc. (NLCOM) – the compassion arm of New Life Philippines located inside Alabang Hills Village in Muntinlupa City – sent a team to the location and prepared hot meals for hundreds of victims.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the February 24, 2024 social media post of NLCOM. Some parts in boldface…

Today, NLCOM reached out and served hot meals the whole day – Pancit Canton and Chicken Adobo to the 399 individuals who were affected in the fire that started in Maligaya Compound in Barangay Pilar, Las Piñãs City on February 22.

They are still in need of assistance, and here are some ways you can help:

Donations – Provide essentials like clothing, food, and hygiene products.
