American Idol Finalist Jeremy Rosado is teaming up with Project HOPE in their efforts to offer relief after the recent Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.

Rosado is partnering up with Project HOPE to help support the typhoon victims by giving some of the proceeds of his new single, "Hope For Tomorrow," to the needy in the Philippines.

Breathecast had the opportunity to catch up with the singer and speak about his forthcoming venture with Project HOPE for the Philippines.

Upon writing his new single, Rosado never anticipated that it would be used to give back in more than just the message behind the song. The bighearted singer will be sharing some of the profits generated from his first major single to give back to a country that has been so good to him.

"I'm a firm believer in giving, and when I allow God to use my gift to be able to bless other people," Rosado said.

When the singer was on Idol, his Filipino fans were very instrumental in helping him stay on the show. Their various letters encouraged him immensely and he said because his fans were there to vote him through in a time of need, he too will be there for his Filipino supporters in their time of need.

"I just want to stand with them and let them know that they're not alone," he explained. "After being eliminated from the show, and I felt like my dreams of becoming a singer were gone, I felt hopeless. It was the tweets, messages and Facebook posts, many from those in the areas hit by the Typhoon Haiyan that gave me hope.  I want to return the favor.. their devastation is far greater than my elimination and the difficulties in trying to make it as a singer.  I want to, in some small way, let them know I'm thinking about them and show them that hope is on the way."  

Since the disaster in the Philippines, Project HOPE has been deploying medical volunteers to remote areas in the Pacific Island country to help bring relief. Project HOPE has also delivered over $2.3 million in donated medicines, generators, First Aid kits, and surgical equipment. The Non-governmental organization is operating out of Millwood Virginia and are purposing to reach out to typhoon-hit areas in the Philippines that are still struggling without electricity and running water.

"When this disaster happened in the Philippines, my heart was broken and immediately I began to post online with the fans who follow me.  I also follow a lot of them and several are from the Philippines," the singer said.

Rosado made it to the top 13 on American Idol thanks in part to his support from his Filipino fans. The 21-year-old singer became an idol favorite after he stole the heart of judge Jennifer Lopez -- who dubbed him "Jer-Bear" and even brought him back as her wildcard.

The 21-year-old worship leader is now a National Recording artist signed to the New York City based label, AIC Records. His first single "Hope for Tomorrow" hits iTunes on Jan. 14 and his debut album will release this coming spring.  

When asked about the meaning behind the catchy tune, Rosado replied, "The hope that we are promised today is coming tomorrow." He believes God has opened the door that is allowing him to use the song to bring hope to a country in need. "I wanted to do something to give back, music is what I do. The only way I know to give back is to put music into this."

Besides releasing the single, Project HOPE will be teaming up with AIC Records to run a unique contest.  With 100,000 singles purchased, the label will randomly select two winners to fly to the Philippines with Rosado to help with the disaster relief efforts in March. 

"To actually get down there and help out and see their faces, that's going to be a really incredible experience" the singer said in anticipation of his trip to the country in the near future.

Rosado's ambition with his collaboration with Project HOPE is to sell as many records as possible that will help facilitate in writing a check that can bless the Philippines. He hopes that the song will be used by God to speak life into people, change lives, and "bring hope back in" not only in the Philippines but also all over the world.
