How To Help Typhoon Yolanda Victims

[JJReyes]

Friends have been asking how to help Typhoon Yolanda victims. Yesterday, I switched from recommending the Philippine Red Cross and Ayala Foundation to Bruce's Philippine Basic Needs. For Americans, it is an IRS recognized 501 ( c ) ( 3 ) not for profit corporation. You can deduct a significant portion of your donation as a charitable contribution.

 

Media attention has been focused on Tacloban and Ormoc. The destruction is more widespread. Other areas have also suffered including Samar. With Bruce, a member of this forum, we are assured ALL the money and any goods sent will be given to needy families. His website is:

Bruce and I have been in email communication. We are trying to raise money to buy seeds for farmers affected by Typhoon Yolanda. The distribution will start late January or early February 2014. I am sending the message below to everyone on my email contact list. If you would like to help us, please do the same.

 

 

A Basic Need for Typhoon Yolanda Victims.

 

Small farmers lost their seeds for next year's planting. The super typhoon destroyed their coconut, banana, papaya and citrus trees. Philippine Basic Needs, a small 501 ( c ) ( 3 ) not-for-profit corporation based in Florida is helping by purchasing replacement seeds.

 

I will be directly involved with the distribution during my visit to the Philippines in early 2014. If you would like to help distribute seeds to needy farmers, please send a contribution through PayPal or a check to:
