The Call for Help
It's been 3 months since the tropical cyclone caused damage in the Philippines. Storm Washi was a late-season tropical cyclone and it made landfall on December 16 bringing a massive destruction along the riverside areas. Cagayan de Oro City was hit hard, hundreds are dead and hundreds are missing, and feared to have died. My aunt's family and all the neighbors were among the survivors. After three months, some of the houses in their neighborhood are still in ruin. If you have relatives and friends, check on them. They might need your help.
My aunt and her family went back to their house two months ago and they tried to get back on their feet. They are okay and I hope, you too would check your family and friends back home. If you are a stranger and wanted to help, leave a message and I can give you a name which you can direct your help to them.

I Do Care
When we went to Mississippi last year, I bought 30 pieces of clothes in SEARS because they are on SALE. I spent less than $100 for everything (90% off) and I was supposed to send those clothes last December for my relatives in CDO. I failed to do so when Storm Washi or Bagyong Sendong struck CDO on Dec. 16, 2011. I diverted my budget for shipping and added the amount to send financial help for my relatives and friends. This week, I will be sending 2 balikbayan boxes and those new clothes will be included in the box. (see the pix below)
I tried asking help from hubbys' friends and thank God, one replied. This is better than nothing right? I already accepted the fact that when I beg for help, I am not convincing. The owner of the clothes below works at American Airlines so, her clothes are worth keeping for and I know, the recipient will be happy to wear them. Thanks to Christine Danyi, you are an angel in disguise. May God bless you abundantly! Thank you so much for extending your arms to help the survivors of Sendong. 
The recipient of these two boxes will be the residents of District 3 Consolacion, Cagayan de Oro City. This will be distributed to the 46 families whom I know from childhood. It would be nice if you do the same thing just to lighten up a little bit of their misery. This is not much but, these things will give them encouragement that others care for them. Go ahead! Do share!
