Help the victims of Super Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) 2013

This is the same post from my other blog.

This blog is supposed to be a happy blog, hence the name AllAboutHappyEndings, However, I cannot help but post about the recent devastation that the Super Typhoon Haiyan, aka Yolanda in the Philippines, brought about to many of the provinces in the Philippines, particularly in the Visayas region. It has been five days since the typhoon hit the country (11/8/13) but until now dead bodies found laying on the streets of Tacloban and Leyte are the headlines of every news. The whole city of Tacloban and Leyte is totally wiped out by the flood and the wind brought by the storm. The least we can do to the victims is to pray that they remain strong and to never loose thier faith in God.

On a lighter note, people from all over the country and the world are extending their support and help in the affected areas. With this, we learn to share and reach out to those who are in need of our help. Celebrities and TV Personalities from all over the world are even extending help and doing their share in spreading the word about this devastating crisis that the Philippines is going through.

Here are several ways to offer our donation to the victims of Typhoon Haiyan (I am, in no way affiliated or associated with the following organizations, I only posted the link of thier website where you can also help) This is the least I could do for the victims of Haiyan.  
 
World Food Programme  Their website is set to let their visitors see the donate button right away. If you wish to donate any amount, simply click on the donate button. Website is at http://wfpusa.org/

The Philippine Red Cross  is one of the first groups to arrive in the provinces and they currently need a lot of supplies, doctors and staff to attend to the victims. Your donation will be used to get necessary medical equipments and medicines for the victims. Go to redcross.org.ph to donate directly to the Philippine Red Cross.

Those who are in the Philippines and has a BPI account which is enrolled for online banking, you can also send your donations to the ABS-CBN account. It can be found on the BPI website. Currently, the site is down, it may be because of the traffic.

MSNBC has an article where you can find a list of websites where you can donate. Go to msnbc.com

Below are screenshots of personalities who have extended thier sympathies and support and of course one of them is Lee Min Ho (though, I believe the page is made by a fan, but still thanks for the effort).

A Post from Michelle Phan's Facebook Page. She is a make up guru who owns Em Cosmetics based in New York. Though she has a very busy schedule, she still post about helping the victims. The MSNBC link is actually from her. Thank you!

I cannot express my gratitude to those who already helped. I am a Filipino and it really breaks my heart seeing my fellow countrymen having to experience this. There are more donation drives being conducted in every corners of the globe and we hope that the victims get the help they need. Bangon Visayas!
