Registry

Please know that your presence at our wedding is present enough! However, for friends and family who have been asking for gift ideas, we've set up a cash fund dedicated to helping us build the home of our dreams.

Charity

In lieu of wedding gifts, we ask that you highly consider making a donation to:

The Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS)
A volunteer-based non-profit organization dedicated to the education and dissemination of information concerning animal welfare across the entire Philippines. PAWS has developed programs and continues to lobby for better laws that ensure humane treatment of all animals in the country.

CARA Welfare Philippines
Compassion and Responsibility for Animals employs a trap-neuter-release program to control the stray animal population in the Philippines. CARA also manages a sanctuary for pit bulls rescued from dog-fighting syndicates, rehabilitating, and preparing them for adoption into loving homes.

Dumaguete Animal Sanctuary
A small non-profit, no-kill animal sanctuary in the Philippines, whose mission is to rehabilitate and re-home stray dogs in the town of Dumaguete and surrounding areas. Their PayPal account, where recurring donations go through, has been frozen as of recent which has caused a funding crisis. Please consider donating to their emergency fund.

Sheldrick Wildlife Trust
One of Africa’s oldest wildlife charities, best known for its Orphans’ Project, the first and most successful elephant orphan rescue and rehabilitation program in the world. We have “adopted” Mwinzi, a male elephant who has the same birthday as our dog, Boba!
