A Day of Love, Hope, and Giving ❤️

The Pickle Yard PH and Pickle Yard Conference League (PYCL), in partnership with JCI San Juan Pinaglabanan, together with our content creators Team Hampaslupa, and with the presence of Izy Aragon and Alvin Aragon, were honored to spend a special day with the children of Little Ark Foundation.

We were warmly accommodated by Butch Bustamante, Founder and President of Little Ark Foundation, whose dedication and compassion continue to bring hope and support to these brave little angels battling cancer.

More than sharing donations, we shared our time, love, prayers, and hope with the children. We believe that helping goes beyond providing funds and goods—it also means giving attention, creating meaningful moments, and reminding them that they are not alone in their journey.

This has always been one of the core missions of The Pickle Yard PH and PYCL: to extend a helping hand to those in need and create a positive impact in our community.

To all our customers, supporters, and loyal players—thank you. Every game you play with us helps make initiatives like this possible. Simply put, you play, and together, we help.
Little Ark Foundation continues to need kind-hearted individuals, volunteers, financial supporters, and regular donors to help provide food, water, and daily necessities for the children under their care.

If you would like to make a difference, donations of any amount are welcome. Please send a message directly to the Little Ark Foundation page. https://www.facebook.com/share/1HAVFwTCqY/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Thank you for helping us spread love, hope, and kindness. 🙏💙
