Help CDO - Help The Victims of Bagyong Sendong

Cagayan de Oro City and Iligan City has been declared as in the State of Calamity last December 12, 2011 at around 17:20 and was battered by Tropical Storm Washi (known locally as Bagyong Sendong ) late at night on Friday, December 16th. 

This happened to be the worst storm in the history of the region. The storm left at least 436 dead people and an estimated 100,000 displaced mostly from Cagayan de Oro and Iligan City.

I was thankful and very much blessed to know that my family and friends in CDO were safe after the typhoon, but I was sad at the same time because many of our brothers and sisters in Mindanao were killed and displaced after the Bagyong Sendong. Lets pray for the victims and the families for a faster recovery from the typhoon. Let us help the poor victims by donating anything we can give - food, clothing, cash, etc.

This is the only way that I can help the victims of Bagyong Sendong. Nakikiramay ako sa lahat ng pamilyang nasalanta at ipagdasal natin ang mga nakaligtas na sana ay nasa mabuting kalagayan na sila. Isa ito sa pinakamalungkot na pangyayari sa ating mga kababayan at marami sa ating mga kapatid ang nawalan ng kapamilya, bahay at ng masayang Pasko. Sana po ay makatulong tayong lahat para mabilis silang makaahon sa pinsalang naidulot ng bagyo. Let us help our brothers and sisters in Mindanao. 

Please re-post this to spread the news and get ore help from other people. Help, share and give love this Christmas. 

Let’s help CDO and Iligan!
