Birthday Wish: Help Philippine Typhoon Victims

I would like to raise money for my birthday to donate to victims of the Philippine Ulysses typhoon.  Instead of spending money to celebrate or buy me material things, I would rather give back to the families in need.  They are in dire need of food and clean water because everything was swept away. My goal to raise $500 would be more than enough to be able to help the people in my hometown.  Thank you so much in advance for your time and help.
