A Post to help reach out to the Victims of Typhoon ‘Sendong’

Monday, December 19th, 2011 at 3:40 pm

GOOD MORNING! as i always say.. this post may not be appropriate to start with those words to my fellow Filipinos affected by the recent Typhoon Sendong but I started this post with those words as I believe there will always be a new morning, a new hope and a new beginning for all of us. As we all know the Southern Part of the Philippines has recently been struck by a very devastating typhoon leaving thousands of people homeless and the saddest part is that a lot of people lifeless. Not only that this typhoon brought mass flooding but it in even struck at the time where people are asleep and off-guard therefore leaving those people with a little time to react during the time of calamity. As of today December 19, 2011 the total number of casualties by the Typhoon ‘Sendong’ is more than 650 and still hundreds more are missing. Let us continue praying that this count stops and those missing people to be found.

I personally feel for those victims not only because I am from the Philippines whose been always hit by typhoons and storms but I have lived thru floods before. During my childhood we are used to experience flooding in my hometown of Cavite City, Philippines wherein starting the end of May we have to put our Sofa’s and other household items on top of benches to prevent them from getting wet as anytime the rain will come and flood the inside of our house. We even experienced that before we sleep the whole house floor is dry and waking up seeing a lot of things floating on top of the floodwaters inside. I have experienced walking thru high-stream of flood waters until my neck level during the floodings of Typoon Milenyo in 2006. Amidst of these typhoon experiences I am still fortunate enough that I can write this post to share with everyone but not fortunate to see people suffering and grieving while there’s nothing I can do to help them.

I am writing this post to reach out to you whose fortunate enough to open the internet and read this so hopefully allow to Donate a small part of your blessings to the victims of this calamity. Listed below are the contact numbers, bank accounts and contact persons for those who will are willing to give their donations on whatever way you want. Let us all do our part If you are not fortunate enough to donate at least share this post and who knows It may be able to reach someone you know who’s just waiting and willing to give in whatever possible way they can.

Reach out through the power of the internet, social networking sites and other forms of internet communication. Together with our PRAYERS and our daily Internet Activities see how this simple article can make a difference. If you are a Filipino or a Filipino by heart for sure you know that.. We have been through tough times, even worst but together we can always rise up, hold each others hand to live another day, another hope and a new beginning with God on our side. Mabuhay ka Filipino!
