Starting with what she had: Reuby Mae and the work behind Love Angel Society Inc.

As a child in Romblon, Reuby Mae Angeli Mindo imagined a future in which financial success would allow her to help people around her. The wealth she pictured did not arrive first. The decision to begin helping did.

Reuby Mae’s account of Love Angel Society Inc., a non-profit organisation registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, starts with small acts of outreach: school supplies, feeding activities and assistance where she could provide it. She says the early work depended on personal savings and small donations from friends, rather than an established institution or a large fund.

Experience gathered abroad

Reuby Mae describes studying computer science and working as a software engineer before moving to Singapore as an overseas Filipino worker in an HR role. Volunteer and corporate social-responsibility activities there brought her into contact with older people, children and community organisations.

In 2017, she says, she returned to the Philippines to start a family. The transition also created space for the community work that became Love Angel Society Inc.. Her submission links the two stages through a continuing interest in service rather than a single dramatic business launch.

The discipline of a small initiative

Limited resources made continuity a recurring question. Reuby Mae says there were times when she doubted whether she could keep the activities going. Support from a former colleague became an important turning point, with other people gradually contributing as they saw the work.

She describes education support, food and relief assistance and later water-access initiatives in Romblon. Each extension of the work brought the same practical question: what could the available support sustain?

“You do not need to be rich to make an impact.”

Continuing after the loss of a supporter

Reuby Mae recounts losing a long-standing supporter and considering whether to stop. A separate offer of school-supply donations for a child’s birthday, and water pumps for 3 local schools in Sta. Maria, Romblon, helped renew her commitment.

The details illustrate the dependence of a grassroots initiative on relationships as well as money. She describes encouragement and practical contributions from former colleagues as part of what allowed the work to continue, alongside support from her family.

A place for younger volunteers

Her submission also introduces the Romblon Youth Circle, intended to encourage young people to take part in community leadership. Reuby Mae wants service to be something a person can begin with available skills and time, rather than postpone until reaching a particular age or income.

Balancing home life, a small business and community activities remains part of that account. Her ambition is to keep developing the work and her own leadership skills, without suggesting that limited resources have ceased to matter.

A different measure of progress

Reuby Mae’s story does not offer evidence that goodwill alone can sustain an organisation. It does show how she thinks about beginning: identify a practical need, do what current resources allow and build trust through continuing work.

The next stage will require the same care as the first—clear project records, appropriate permissions and a realistic view of what the initiative can deliver. Her submitted message is that waiting to become wealthy need not be the condition for making a useful contribution.
