To Courier Donations to Malibay Flood Vi...

This is for the benefit of the flood victims in Malibay, Pasay City Philippines.

My daughters, aged 8 and 10, are knocking on our neighbors doors; asking for donations of clothings and toys to be send to the flood devastated communities in Malibay, Pasay City, Philippines.

As of today, the rain is still pouring and the floor water has not abated. The flood victims need your help.

My girls have agreed to donate their savings of 80 Euro to pay for the courier of the first balikbayan box; but the girls' first few hours of hardwork have already filled the first box. Now, they would need at least two more balikbayan boxes to accommodate the other donations. That means another 200 Euro would be needed.

I hope you could help, too.

My family, together with my two girls, were victims of the September 2009 Ondoy storm, with a devastating damage of 1.09 billion dollars and 747 fatalities. I think my girls are doing this to shake up the trauma that they felt when they saw the water rising; when they saw that their Papa could not do anything to stop the water; when they realized that they were supposed to stay alone in the second floor of the house because the rest of the household were doing everything they can to save things in the house; when there were no food available for a time... I don't know what else they felt that time because they never did talk about it. All I know is that everytime there's a storm, they tend to cling.

Just this morning, when I showed them the photos of the flooding; they decided to help. First by donating their savings, and then by collecting items to be donated.

They chose Malibay, Pasay City because that is where their grandparents live.

Please help them help the communities in Malibay. They only need 160 Euros.

Thank you very much.
