The Philippines has been recently struck by two very strong typhoons in the past few weeks (and another one on the way) and a lot of people have been afected by it. If you can, please pray for us and donate to some donation drives to help those in need.
Many people have been displaced and the flood has reached as far as the second floor. Please pray for us and keep us in your hearts. Thank you. I’ll try to update this post later when I find some links for places to donate..
hi! filipino here, and i wanted update this post with a couple of handy links and some reminders for anyone who wishes to donate.
please do not donate to change[.] org. i doubt that any of the money that the organization asks for will go to humanitarian causes.
do not donate to the philippine government. please don’t. there’s a bigger chance of them taking emergency funds and donations for themselves than them actually using it to help people out.
with that in mind, it’s better to donate to local donation drives as well as local organizations.
this carrd has good information regarding hotlines, databases for rescue and aid centers, and reputable donation drives.
this spreadsheet is arranged according to donation method (diff. banks) and also has a paypal sheet for those abroad.
i will be adding more as i find them in future reblogs, but for now, the spreadsheet and the carrd linked above has donation drives and info you need.
strongly stressing the following: please do not feel guilty if you are unable to donate. it’s okay if you can’t. signalboosting this with a simple reblog is more than enough.
REBLOG this even if you cannot donate
The events that happened recently are consequences from multiple ignorant decisions made by the government that disregards environmental and disaster fundings. There are a couple of donation drives within the country, but things would go a lot smoother with assistance from others as well. The typhoons that struck are named Rolly and Ulysses, should you consider to research yourself on what occured, and what is currently happening.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read all these. Stay safe!
