GrailsLife: Sitio Tibag

We have partnered up with GrailsLife for a unique and different kind of distribution. GrailsLife is an online-based group of shoe collectors raffling and selling collectible kicks in their private Facebook group (invite only). They are also known to host fundraisers to provide for various Southern California non-profit organizations such as the Inland Empire Ronald McDonald House. “Together we can all make a difference.” With such slogan, a collaboration with them is bound to happen.

​

GrailsLife held a fundraiser last December that collected $1355 for 1in3out. That’s enough to fully fund a community outreach tailored specially for the kicks-theme lifestyle of GrailsLife and its members. 100 pairs of customized rain boots and 100 relief bags were distributed to some of our kababyans in Sitio Tibag, a small town in Montalban, Rizal. A little over an hour east of Manila. The boots came printed with GrailsLife’s logo. Eco-friendly bags were also printed with our logos and a bible verse. Each bag contained 2 kilos of rice, 4 packs of ramen noodles, 3 cans of corned beef, 1 can of sardines, 10 packs of coffee and 5 packs of chocolate powder.

​

Another successful distribution in the books! We would like to thank GrailsLife for this amazing project. To all its members and those who participated in the fundraiser, rest assure that every cent went to a worthy cause. We hope this is the first of many collaborations between our organizations, and set an example to others who would wants to “Help Us Help Them.”

Kyle is one of our first-time volunteers at our most recent event in Brgy. Puray. Here is his firsthand account of how he spent his Sunday with us:

​

“Not knowing what to expect, I joined 1in3out on our outreach to Brgy. Puray, Rizal. The journey going there was already a challenge. The road was rough, full of lubak, and difficult to pass through. But despite this, the team didn’t give up and remained determined to reach the community.

 

When we arrived, we were faced with another challenge. We didn’t have a proper place to pack the goods we were going to distribute. With no time to waste, we immediately started packing under the heat of the sun. It was tiring, but everyone stayed committed because we knew the purpose of why we were there.

 

One moment that really stayed with me was when we served spaghetti to the community. It may seem simple, but seeing the smiles on their faces made it special. The children were also very happy during the games. Even small prizes like candies and chocolates made them excited. You could see how they smiled and appreciated every little thing they received.

 

This experience reminded me of something important:

“Sa simpleng bagay, makikita mo ang tunay na saya.”

We often complain about small inconveniences in our daily lives, but when you see their situation, you realize how they live simply yet happily.

 

Being part of this outreach inspired me to appreciate more, complain less, and always find ways to help others. A big thanks to everyone who made this outreach possible. Your support and generosity bring not just help, but also hope and happiness to the community.

 

Help Us Help Them!”

After celebrating our 5th year anniversary and our 50th outreach to end 2025, 1in3out is starting 2026 late but with 2 outreach for the month of March. Starting off at Brgy Puray, Rizal - a little over an hour drive outside of Manila. That dusty tail end of this trip was an adventure for our vehicle and volunteers. But reaching Puray and spending that Sunday with its people was worth the challenge.

This outreach was made possible by our friends from Pomona, California: Wavlngth., Dom and The Gangcuangco Family, and all their friends. Their fundraiser last year has funded this entire event, and has provided temporary relief for the 150 families who calls Puray their home. Thank you so much from us here in 1in3out and the people of Puray. Maramig salamat po!
