As most of you have seen Typhoon Haiyan ravished the Philippines. However, a lot of you probably don't know anyone from there, but I do. My neighbor Tess' family survived the Typhoon, but their homes were destroyed and now they must try to rebuild their lives literally from the ground up. I am starting this fundraiser during the holidays in the hopes of inspiring people to help them on their journey of getting back some of what they have lost. For many in the Philippine's it will take years to re-establish the little they had before the storm. For as little as two thousand U.S. dollars, a home can be built for them. I'm asking you all to donate anything you can afford to help Tess' family recover. No donation is too small! We are so fortunate to live in the United States and share all the blessings that we have. I know a lot of people were sad to see the devastation on the news and this is a perfect opportunity to get involved and help a real family in the city of Tacloban. As I have talked to Tess about this catastrophe, she has explained how her brother & his family are just sleeping on the side on their destroyed house while they try to recover. Yet, the people in her village are still smiling and continue to pool their money & resources to help each other out; grateful they are all still alive. As we gather with our families and friends to celebrate the holidays, Tess' family and many others like them are wondering when they will eat again or where they will sleep. Please join me in helping them re-build their lives and donate today. (Below is a picture of Tess’ niece & nephew who are now without a home, please help them today!) Also, please share this on your Facebook page and hopefully through the kindness of many we can help the few.H
