Pope Francis' gesture helps Yolanda victim rebuild life

Jenita Aguilar, who lost her son during Super Typhoon Yolanda in 2013, found solace when Pope Francis reached out his hand to her during his visit to Tacloban in 2015, inspiring her family to rebuild their lives.

Pope Francis' gesture helped Jenita regain faith and inspired her daughter Junko to thrive as a college student.

The community where Jenita's family resides was named Pope Francis Village in honor of the Pope’s compassion and support for those affected by Yolanda.

Jenita hopes that future leaders of the Catholic Church will continue Pope Francis' work to aid those who have lost everything.

The community continues to benefit from the enduring legacy of Pope Francis, with residents expressing gratitude for his ongoing support.
