EMERGENCY PLEASE HELP MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY

HOWEVER SMALL YOUR DONATION PLEASE HELP MY FAMILY & FRIENDS REBUILD THEIR LIVES,THANK YOU.

Hello Everyone, My name is Vangie Labra, i currently live in the U.K. and have done so for a few years now, but today I am starting a go fund me page for my family & friends who live in CarCar City, Cebu, Philippines, You may or not be aware that a huge Typhoon called Typhoon Rai struck the Visaya region of the Philippines on the 16/12/21, it was originally deemed that this would be a catergory 2 storm but a couple of hours before making landfall it was raised to a catergory 5 which gave people absolutely no time to evacuate or have any chance of trying to secure their homes or material belongings, when the Typhoon struck it was just devastating, it destroyed everything in its path, brought winds with it of over 140 mph & the town of my relatives & friends who I’m fundraising for took the full impact as did many other coastal areas close by, my relatives & friends have lost absolutely everything, their homes were obliterated within seconds, everything they had ever worked for…GONE, they are all currently exposed to the elements day/night whether this be soaring heat or torrential rain & have only the clothes on their backs, their is minimal water & food is scarce whilst their is also a sanitary issue which in turn could increase the likelihood of disease & illness, also all overhead electrical pylons have been brought down so their is currently an electrical blackout which could take weeks to fully rectify, iam struggling to communicate with my family as their is very limited Mobile phone signal & my younger brother especially has to walk over 3 hours by foot to find an area to receive phone signal, the feedback im receiving is that it’s a real desperate situation, as they all live in such a remote secluded area no help is being provided by the government or aid agencies, If this fundraiser is successful then the funds you have raised will be used by my family to purchase stronger building materials and they can rebuild the property from scratch but this time make it even more stable so the risk & chance of this saddening situation happening in the future is further reduced, also my close friends will share these funds also for their respective families. Christmas is 1 week away & the thought of my family & friends finding themselves in this dire unforeseen disastrous situation is just heartbreaking, please if you can help in anyway that would be so heartwarming , Please say a prayer for Philippines and show it’s people they have NOT been forgotten about, thank you everyone for reading this & god bless you and your families.
