As many of you know, a massive Typhoon hit the Philippines the past few days and killed tens of thousands and destroyed many people's houses and belongings. One of my friends (she also works for me) in the Philippines (Eljie) and her family's home were hit pretty hard. They are lucky to be alive but their home has been damaged and much of their belongings have been destroyed by flooding and mud.

They are in need of money right now to help pay for food, water, and to repair/replace their refrigerator which no longer works, and fix their car damaged car which will not start due to flooding, to buy new clothing, and possibly move to a new location.

I have decided to help her out but I also told her I will seek help from friends, etc.

Anything you can donate will help. Even $1 helps them buy water and food supplies which are quite expensive now due to low supplies. She told me that 1 gallon of water is now 40 pesos, about $1, which is expensive for the Philippines.

All donations will be sent to Eljie using Xoom.com. She will be able to pick up the money in cash at a local bank.
