HOW TO HELP PHILIPPINES TYPHOON VICTIMS

MAKE A DONATION TO HELP THE TYPHOON HAIYA SURVIVORS

I don’t know about you, but for me, it was difficult to just sit back and read the stories about the devastation in the aftermath of the deadly Philippine typhoon that claimed more than 10,000 lives this weekend.  We have many Filipinos in the Hawaiian islands. The ones I have gotten to know are all hard-working family-oriented folks. I felt I needed to do something to help these poor people, the “lucky” survivors.  But how do you do that from thousands of miles away?

As it turns out it was not easy to find a humanitarian organization in the richest country in the world that seemed both compassionate and trustworthy. But after some effort, I finally did. And have already made a substantial donation to help the victims. So I invite you to do the same – make a gift from the heart – within your personal means, of course.  Just click on…

Here’s is a “thank you” card I received from them.

Here’s also a video at the USA TODAY web site that directed me to this humanitarian organization. It’s less than 90 seconds long. And it has a lot of useful information if you would like to help.
