In the wake of typhoon Haiyan, which devastated parts of the central Philippines like Leyte, Samara, and Tablacan, I wrote a blog yesterday outlining how you could help. I offered to match any donations, dollar-for dollar, that came in from you within a 24-hour period, and your response has been incredibly generous.
I received donations from old friends, new friends, and even people I haven't met, all over the world, and together we raised $1,760 in 24 hours. I will be matching that donation, so all in all we'll be giving $3,520 to Direct Relief.org, who is doing some amazing work here in the Philippines!
There are so many of you to acknowledge for your support, good wishes, and donations, but most of all I want to thank those who donated from the bottom of my heart for caring about the good people here in the Philippines.
With over 700,000 people displaced and still without food, water, shelter, or medicine who desperately need your help, there is a lot of work yet to be done - so keep saying prayers and spreading the word.
Salamat Po (thank you),
Norm :-)
