Ways to Help Typhoon #YolandaPH Victims

Good morning guys!

I hate to start a day with a sad post. I thought typhoon Santi was the worst typhoon for this year but I am so wrong. Because typhoon Yolanda just left a huge devastation. I just knew about it when I watched the news last Saturday and until today the footages are heartbreaking. Much more are the sight of the people who are looting to survive. With no food to eat, and clean, dry clothes to wear, what do you expect people to do? Their depressing situations might trigger this kind of doings BUT I am not saying it's okay to steal. No it's not and so I am praying that the government can make a control over the people and assure them that donations are already coming.

So how we can help the victims of Yolanda? Let me share ways how we can help the victims. We can give in kind or cash donations.

For in-kind donations, you can give the following goods:
  1. Use or old clothes but are wearable. No gowns, suits and the likes please.
  2. Foods, like rice and easy-open canned goods like sardines, corned beef, etc. Also, ready to eat food like breads and  biscuits.
  3. Bottled water.
  4. Diapers, lampins or wash cloth.
  5. Blankets and beddings.
  6. Toiletries (bath soap, shampoot, tooth brush, tooth paste)
  7. Medicines and first aid kits.
  8. Milk, preferably breast milk.
  9. Footwears/Slippers.

Those are the basic needs of the victims and if you still have any things in mind that can be useful to them then you can donate those as well.

You may also donate cash. Those who are abroad can also donate cash or Paypal funds.

Where can we give our donations to make sure these will reach the victims? Here are the verified ways to donate our in-kind and cash donations:
