Thank you to everyone who is helping us with our Philippines typhoon relief fund.
Little by little we’re getting up there. We’re now at $3,398 in donations… on our way to $4,000 by the end of next week.
As of today, we’ve sent $3,000 over so far:
- $1,000 – These funds went to Ortigas Center, Manila relief ops at Telus call center. Our contribution went into a pool of money being used to help out those in most need.
- $1,600 – These funds were going to go to relief ops in Makati at eTelecare but a life-threatening situation came up in Central Luzon. We sent the funds there to help fund a life-saving operation for a typhoon victim there. The man’s wife thought she had lost him in the mud slides that resulted from typhoon rain. She found him but his leg was infected and if he didn’t have an operation to remove it soon he would die. He had the operation and our funds are going to pay for the hospital bill and hopefully help get the family back on their feet. There’s a compelling personal story involved that I can’t post on this site for privacy reasons. If you made a donation, you received the email from me telling you about this. We’ll send more funds to this family as we raise them.
- $400 - These funds went toward another individual emergency, similar to the story above, but in the Manila area. Click here to view the details.
Thank you to everyone who is helping by praying, donating, or just spreading the word online to your friends who may be interested in helping too.
