“Our street children need your help and compassion now more than ever. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to scary and uncertain times for many of us, but not more so than people with no homes who are most vulnerable,” Lovi said.

Lovi reached out to the public in support of  Child Hope Philippines, a movement of advocates for the cause of street children.

The actress also called for donations on Twitter, and provided details on how people can send their donations.

1000php can feed 1 family for 1 whole week!! Any amount would be a huge help because if we add everyone’s contribution it’ll keep our street children’s stomach full and happy despite what’s happening now. ??

“In the past days, Child Hope Philippines has joined our frontliners distribute relief but we need to help 500 more families so they can have food to eat as the days go by,” Lovi said in her video.

“If you can, please donate to Child Hope Philippines. A thousand pesos, isang libo, makakatulong na ‘yun to feed a family for one whoe week, but of course any amount is a big help. It can reduce their burden of finding a way to eat food amid the crisis,” she added.

Low-income Filipinos are now struggling to provide food for their families as the entire Luzon was placed under enhanced community quarantine to address the COVID-19 threat in the country.

Other Kapuso stars like Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza are also doing their part to help. Alden donated food to frontliners in Laguna, while Maine has also reached out to her fanbase to help the less fortunate during the crisis.
