The victims on "Bagyong Sendong" need help!
"I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything,
but still I can do something; and because I cannot do
everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do"
-Hellen Keller
Cagayan de Oro City, along with other nearby towns and cities got stormed by Bagyong Sendong last night. It was just an ordinary day yesterday when it rained. It just seemed like an ordinary drizzle because usually, we only get downpour that lasts for about 3-6 hrs/day.
This is one of the images I have seen on my Facebook timeline
that broke my heart into pieces.
Bagyong Sendong left our brothers and sisters in Mindanao and other affected areas in a state of devastation. This made me felt sad upon looking the victim pictures of typhoon sendong hit down particularly in Northern Mindanao. If you’d like to help, you can check out the list below the hotline numbers and establishments that accommodate relief goods for Bagyong Sendong victims in the Philippines.

We Filipinos are known for “bayanihan” – a spirit of communal unity or effort to achieve a particular objective. This is one of those times that we really need to put “bayanihan” into practice. We need to put aside all our differences and work together to help the victims of Bagyong Sendong.
Any type of help you can give – cash, food, clothes, etc. will help ease the burden of the poor victims of these recent calamity. I also pray for the countless families who were displaced and affected by Bagyong Sendong and hope that they’d get the help that they need and be able to recover as soon as possible.
