Ormoc City Relief Effort
Donation protected
By
now, most of you have heard and seen images of the disaster that hit
the Philippines. There were 36 provinces affected by the typhoon, the
second most being Ormoc City, Leyte where all of our family resides. We
have had very limited communication with our mother's 15 siblings, our
cousins and such. We have heard from my uncle who says we have many family members unaccounted for. My heart is breaking knowing they are scavenging through the mess in order to find food
and water. The home my grandfather built is in shambles with no roof to
protect those that have survived. I received a facebook message from my
Aunt Azzima (my moms sister who lives in japan). She will be traveling
there on the 26th to help with the rescue efforts of our family, to take
supplies and food directly to our relatives. My brother Sean Forshey
and I will be traveling to the affected area December 4th to assist the relief efforts
and find our family. Once that has been accomplished, the intention is
to set them up with shelter and stockpile food, water and medicine to
ensure their safety and well being while helping others along the way.
Our goal is to raise as much money as possible to find our family and help as many people as we can.
Nothing can ever replace what has been lost but please help us rebuild -
