"We literally hit up the music community one or two days before the music festival began. We didn’t hear one 'no.' Everybody wanted to be part of this fundraiser. We're really humbled by the support that we received for Operation Odette," Enriquez notes.

"They were sending us photos of the roof coming off. And they’re saying we’re not getting any help out here. There’s not any water anymore. And we just feel helpless because we can’t fly over there because it’s hard to hop on a plane and go especially during these days with Covid and the fact that we are able to help is awesome," Medina shares.
According to Enriquez, over 400 donors contributed during the fundraiser. Many were young, first-time donors, and not Filipino.
