The internet is made for things like this.

Just a couple of days ago, the story of this dad who didn’t have enough money to buy a meal for himself went viral on social media. People were touched by the sacrifice he made just to see his two daughters enjoy crispy-licious fried chicken.

Well, that photo could change Tatay Ryan Arebuabo’s life.

Netizens have expressed their desire to help Tatay Ryan and his daughters.

Jhunnel Sarajan, the kind soul who first posted the viral photo, even made a Facebook page to help monitor the donations for Tatay Ryan.

More than money, however, Tatay Ryan said that he needs help with getting therapy for himself and education for his daughters. He said that he wants to be strong enough to take care of his daughters again.

ABS-CBN has reached out to Tatay Ryan to help him with his therapy. One woman has already expressed her desire to sponsor the education of Tatay Ryan’s daughters.

Even before they received all the promised help, Tatay Ryan and his family expressed their gratitude for people who were touched by their story.

Hey Jollibee, maybe you can sponsor a party for the kids too?
