Tahanang Walang Hagdanan in Cainta, Rizal is one of the many establishments damage by typhoon Ondoy. Like every other victim, TWH was damaged physically. The residences, work area, machines, tools, and materials for livelihood were all damaged. Life Haven did our own share of extending assistance to Tahanang Walang Hagdanan.
On October 1, 2009 Life Haven visited TWH and brought along personnel to assist with the checking of electrical lines and machines. We also brought goods to supplement their everyday needs and a medical team for their health concerns.
Like all other victims also, the ravages of typhoon Ondoy left emotional and psychological trauma to the residents of Tahanang Walang Hagdanan majority of whom are persons with disabilities. The Bayanihan spirit from and a visit by other persons with disabilities lifted their spirits.
We would like to extend our gratitude to all those who contributed to the success of this visit. ( Liza Aviso and family; Eric Dy's family and friends; friends of Joon Baltazar; Karla Henson and Ramos family; Abner Manlapaz and family; and all others)
