What People Say
My wife and I are pleased to endorse the work of the "Ruel Foundation." The foundation has its roots in Eastern Samar, as Ruel is a native son of Eastern Samar. Many of the children from this region are being helped and cared for by the foundation. We look forward with anticipation to working with David and his team in the coming years.

The Ruel Foundation is simple in concept and compassionate in spirit. These qualities resonate deeply throughout the Christian Gospel. Jesus spoke simply to children and treated the poor and broken with compassion. The "Foundation" makes it possible for us to do likewise.
