OR ANY RED CROSS
Or trusted charity. Any amount to your local Red Cross chapter, and they will send the money along. Any amount matters.

Thoughts and prayers to wordsworth and the peoples of the Phillippines. Just hearing about it first hand via tru (describing the non stop rain) and arian (stuck in her school) - this has hit close to home.

Just one in many disasters mother nature hits us as other nations in SE Asia prepare for the worst, be strong and live life to the fullest.

Awesome, been trying to find a way to donate but online things I find only take credit cards & I have no money in my card atm... that site found me a bank I can go to tomorrow & deposit in person so thanks for posting pika

Jesus, man. I can't spare much with waitress wages and all, but I will give what I can.

Donated earlier today via Oxfam.

To all UKers be sure to check the giftaid box so the UK government can add an extra 28% to your donation!
I think that works in other countries that have giftaid too (not sure) anyways I did it and it boosts my donation to be over $100, which is awesome.

I've been so busy worrying about my and KT's relatives back home (fortunately they're all ok) that I completely forgot about our own 'pino HiPstaz.   Been hearing and reading so many stories similar to wordy's about people pulling one another through the roofs of their houses and what not, it's just so surreal.

Be strong guys and gals. Our thoughts are all with you.

[Tuffty]

Stay strong guys, I really hope we get to know you're alright soon. My sincere condolences go out to word's family and friends.

I've happily donated to a just cause such as this.

I donated 4 bags of old clothes today at local drop-off points.
