Dear Sir/Madam,
It has been nearly a week since the destructive winds and rains of Typhoon Rai, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Odette, struck the Philippines and made landfall in Southern Leyte. The gale force winds ripped the roofs off of homes, uprooted trees and brought down power lines in our hometown. I am currently based in Quezon City, Philippines. I went to Barangay Lewing, Anahawan Southern Leyte since it is my Mother's hometown. I am a Grade 5 student when we first moved to Barangay Lewing. This place is important to me not just because it is my Mother's hometown, but individually, I still have a deep attachment to it, and it pains me to see my friends, neighbors and relatives suffered from the effects of Typhoon Odette.
Local businesses and infrastructure have been critically damaged. The foundations of houses along the sea were critically damaged. Fallen limbs and trees smashed cars and roofs.
Unlike donations to national organizations that can take months to begin distributing funds, your support will have an immediate and substantial impact in OurTown. With your help, we can feed families who have lost everything in the aftermath of the Typhoon Odette.
The people of Anahawan Southern Leyte needs help, especially Barangay Lewing. I am asking for your help because I cannot afford to do it all by myself. All the money that we can gather will be realize into food and water- and if possible clothes and lamp. As of this time, there is no electricity yet as most of the power lines were destroyed, and this makes communication very difficult.
Any amount you decide to donate will be very much appreciated and will make a huge difference in their lives whose lives have been upended.
Let's make them feel the spirit of Christmas in this dark time and end this year with God's comfort and provision for their immediate needs.
