Jeesh… who would have thought that a bunch of pennies could help restock a typhoon-destroyed school in the Philippines? Fortunately, a fellow church friend, Honduras orphanage philanthropist, and 6th grade school teacher at Lyons Central School in upstate, NY did. His name is Eric Lewis… and a few months ago after a liturgy at St. Michael’s Parish he told my [...] Morris Gage is one of the nicest guys I know. He’s a good friend of my dad’s from upstate, NY — and he was a huge influence in the development of the soccer teams at my high school back in the day. He also makes the best hot chicken jerky I’ve ever had. My coworkers agree — [...] When I announced that I wanted to help raise funds for the Philippines typhoon victims I knew two things would happen… My family would help out Sure enough, they did… and within 24 hours we had raised $500. Today, less than 2 weeks later, we’re at $2,000. This is fantastic. I want to thank [...] Remember that financial donations aren’t the only thing we can do to help our friends in the Philippines: We can pray for them too. One of my Filipina friends, Julienne, just posted this on her Facebook profile tonight: PRAYER BRIGADE: “Father God, we pray for your Divine Mercy. Spare us from another devastation.

Esteban shares some words [...] "I couldn't imagine having to start all over with nothing…" Another surprise donation came in for our Philippines typhoon victims fund. This one came from one of my best friends from another lifetime who I haven’t heard from in years. She’s a NY- to-Cali transplant, and she’s deeply concerned for her fellow Filipinos… “I donated because it’s amazing [...] Vero sold last year's Halloween costume to help raise money for the Philippines typhoon victims My wife Vero bought butterfly wings for Halloween last year. But apparently butterflies are out of style in 2009 — and Little Red Riding Hood is in. So she decided to sell her wings to help raise money for the Philippines typhoon [...] Karyna and Katie donate their "breakfast taco" fund to the typhoon victims For at least six months, my fellow StreetAuthority co-workers Katie and Karyna have been collecting spare coins in a coffee mug for their “Breakfast Taco” fund. But today, they told me they wanted to donate their savings to the Philippines typhoon victims. One of them said: “Granted we don’t [...] Laura explains why she helps the typhoon victims An unexpected donation came in from a friend.
