-----------------------------------------------------
On November 8, 2013 at 6:30 am, Philippines suffered a cyclone storm surge signal 5, named Haiyan or Yolanda locals call it and it was three times the power of United States Hurricane Katrina. Many lives were lost and massive destruction took place. As the wind and storm surge wreaked havoc in just five hours, it left our homes, communities, and cities into shreds. It was one of the strongest typhoon to ever hit the entire planet with reported gushing winds up to 235 mph with millions displaced and feared estimate of 10,000 dead.
My name is Aileen Capapas Padberg. I live in Gillette Wyoming with my husband James and our 3 year old daughter Andrea. I have one sibling a younger sister, Airis who works in Dubai for about seven years now. Our widowed mother Alice devoted and the rock in our family has lovingly raised all of us including my two nieces, Fionnah and Alexandra. Tacloban City was one of the areas of storm's landfall that hit the whole city with much devastation. This was where my family, our mother Alice 62, Fionnah 14 and Alexandra 12 lived and were missing/no contact for 4 days after the storm. (My family's story surviving the storm found at the very bottom of page.)
My family, friends and neighbors all over Tacloban and surrounding cities are victims and survivors who've lost mostly everything from loved ones to a family home and way of life.
Beyond "Losing Just A School and Moral"
Overnight, hurricane Haiyan changed our entire lives. You will not meet a person in Tacloban who did not lose a home and lost mostly everything or everyone to the flood. Beyond "Losing more than just a school and sense of moral", we lost our robust city, and its conditions now are extremely unlivable. Storm created orphans covering devastated areas throughout Tacloban and its outskirts begging for food and water and scavenging for toys under rubble.
We share what everyone suffers through.. Forced to leave the quarantined devastated city, we lost more than just our homes. Losing everything to the storm is beyond materials: We lost relationships, we face missing friends, children and elderly, our families scattered, our way of living wiped out, our robust community flattened and daily cultures of our lives disrupted.
Thank you so much to your in kind donations and gifts of love and time. And if you feel compelled in your heart to extend our campaign to other organizations and people, please share this far and wide. Stay blessed.
In Love, Light and Hope,
Aileen Capapas Padberg

Fighting For Survival
That Friday morning at exactly 6:30 am on November 8, 2013, the massive storm surge hurricane smashed its landfall into central islands of the Philippines, Tacloban City, Leyte where our mother and my sister's girls live. Their fight for life during the storm entailed having escaped from our home after salty murky water flooded the inside of the entire house. (Alex, the youngest was not with them for she had stayed with her father's parents' house the day before.) Only in seconds, the flood rose up to my mother's neck line; she's 5'3". Between the fast rising water and top floor without fire exits, they had no choice but go outside against the turbulent "jet engine" winds in seek of higher ground. They made it across the apartment complex where a flight of stairs lent its rails for them to cling to while gusts of winds were slamming them hard. Neighbors upstairs managed to get out of their higher ground apartments and rescued them into the safety of their home. Storm chasers reported that the water rose up to 17 feet just in 45 minutes. For 4 days they waited amidst the devastated area. For 4 days my sister and I did not know if they were well or safe for the whole region was destroyed. Frantic and petrified, my sister Airis flew from Dubai to Cebu City as soon as there were flights open. I stayed behind (in the U.S.) to prepare to all that may and also covered Airis' back as her conduit for communication. The children's father and his family who had Alex safe survived, yet also victims of the storm. They extended their caring help to check on our mother and Fionnah. Simultaneously, relatives from the province of Hinunangan, Southern Leyte were on their way travelling the 9 hours motorcycle ride as the only resort to get into the destroyed city to search for my girls and mother. Despite of no power or communication lines in placed, Praise God our mother and my two nieces were immediately evacuated to be reunited with our relatives in Hinunangan home who had things prepared for their arrival. That was Day 4 after the disaster. It also happened to be the night of reckoning when the world saw all over news from CNN when Anderson Cooper righteously highlighted the desperate condition of the Tacloban City area where survivors were stuck without access to food and water relief.
Just days before the hurricane, Alex had a birthday on Nov 4, 2013. Gift from her paternal grandmother, all she wanted was for her classmates, teachers and school friends to eat some fried chicken, cake and ice cream in celebrating her birthday with her. Alex's heart is big and she chose to share food and time with them rather than owning a typical gadget that a typical 12 year old would usually go for. Ironically, the special time they shared together that day as schoolmates and friends in their school classroom was the last happy memories of who they once were before hurricane Haiyan-Yolanda changed every story of their lives. Tacloban is now a ghost town.
