Be My Voice, Help Uncover What Happened To Her

My name is Roni, and a few months ago I made a video about a brave and struggling Filipina ladyboy I met while filming on Mango Avenue in Cebu, Philippines. She welcomed me into her humble home and shared her story with honesty, strength, and kindness. That video unexpectedly touched the hearts of thousands around the world.

But now, something’s wrong. After trying to reconnect with her for a follow-up video, I’ve received disturbing messages suggesting she may no longer be alive. These claims are unconfirmed, and that’s the problem — no one is talking, and the truth is hard to find in silence.

I’ve tried to reach out, message people, and ask locals, but the wall of secrecy has made it nearly impossible to know what really happened to her.

That’s why I’m starting this GoFundMe — not for content, but to fund a serious attempt to uncover the truth. The money raised will go toward:

Hiring local help or private investigators in Cebu

Travel costs if I need to return to the Philippines myself

Translation and communication assistance

Any other verified costs directly related to finding her and, if needed, supporting her family

This isn’t just about one person — it’s about giving a voice to someone who no longer has one, and standing up for those forgotten by society. If she’s still out there, I want to find her. And if the worst has happened, she deserves dignity, remembrance, and justice.

If you’ve ever watched her story and felt moved — be her voice.

If you’ve ever wished you could help someone in need — this is your chance.

Even a small donation can help bring us closer to the truth.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Roni
