Typhoon update of yet another FilipinoMe and my family are among the more fortunate ones who were spared from the damage Ketsana/Ondoy left. The flood water was almost at our doorstep, which was horrible news because our place is one of the highest in our village. That meant if the water reached us, the rest of the village are already chest-deep. >__> We had some relatives and their children taking refuge in our place since water already entered their homes and were already knee-high...
This last week, my family and I spent donating relief goods in our community center and my sisters' school and helping out with the packing. We don't really have much to give, financially and otherwise, and it was the only way we could help out our countrymen who had their lives, homes and properties ruined by flood water...
I was really nervous too last night, when Pepeng was 'scheduled' to reach the Philippine soil. While Ondoy brought heavy rainfall, Pepeng was expected to have strong winds enough to blow houses' roofs off. Thankfully, it missed NCR. But we're still offering prayers for our countrymen up North where Pepeng hit the hardest.
I haven't been able to do much here on DA lately, except poke in every once in a while, but seeing so many entries here, and posts from different people and from different countries and organizations calling out to help the Philippines is really touching and comforting, that we're not alone in this time of need.
~suzaku18 already posted some links where you can help the Philippines out, but I'm going to snatch some links in the hopes someone who stumbled into this journal and decides to help will know where to go~
On LJ : [link]
On DA : [link] , [link]
These entries contain links to where donations and various help could be given.
Again, my (and the rest of the Filipino community's, I'm sure) heartfelt gratitude for all the help, thoughts and prayers.
Let us also give our prayers to our brothers in the Asia Pacific who also expreienced difficulties due to various natural causes, and has claimed more than 1,500 lives during the last week:
- for the people of Taiwan, where Typhoon Parma/Pepeng is heading
- the tsunami in the Samoan Islands last Tuesday
- the earthquake in Indonesia last Wednesday
- the Typhoon Ketsana across the Southeast Asia
May God be with everyone.
