As many of us are awaiting Christmas / Winter holidays in the safety of our homes, my family, friends and all those in Siargao island and Surigao City (as well as neighboring regions) have just experienced one of the most powerful storms to have ever hit the southern Philippines. Many (most) of them have just lost their homes and livelihood with towns completely flooded or leveled. Philippines coastguard have reported widespread devastation and currently, the region is without power and shelter.   Water, food, medicine and building supplies are critical at this time.  

I am asking to please please help out in any way that you can. Any amount will make a difference….

Thank you all so much!
