Dear brothers and sisters,
Last saturday, we slept soundly at the comfort of our condo unit. We know for a fact that rains never stopped on pouring but we thought it is just one of those days. Little did I know that the tragedy in Metro Manila was unfolding. Late Saturday and Sunday news were truly a shocker but my feeling then was more of a sympathy to the victims. I immediately extended financial assistance to a couple of christian friends who were badly hit by the flood. Wayne extended help to her friend whose entire living got wiped out. As days passed by, I heard stories one after the other telling me how families in Marikina and San Mateo practically lost everything they have except for their lives. It struck me deep as of date as I realize that God is so good to me and my family that it will be truly unfair if I will not give more given the countless blessings we received from Him. I said to myself that now is the best time to help. How I wish you could be part of this opportunity to reach out to the thousands of victims . It will make you feel good to realize that you are part of this work that truly touches desperate and hopeless lives. God will surely reward you.
I intend to go to San Mateo this coming Saturday. I hope to bring some clothes,goodies, and funds for the victims. At the moment, I know that Neyong's wife wilma lost everything that her family has. The same thing is true with Julius wife's sister whose entire house except for the roof was inundated by flood. Jerry's wife and family have yet to be contacted but surely they are also devastated as they live in Tumana, a low lying area. I know many more are deeply in need.
Should you wish to be part of this worthy endeavor, you may talk to Inay about it.
God bless....
Dan

Tiya and All,
ReplyDeleteWe received the goods yesterday. Thank you so much for the support. This is very much needed here in San Mateo.
You will see the glow and happiness and thankfulness in their eyes upon receiving your relief goods. They asked me
to send their gratitude to all of you and to those who contributed. I don’t know if you’ve seen in the news, I took pics
yesterday, 2 weeks after typhoon Ondoy and you won’t believe the aftermath will last that long…
Thanks and may God continue to bless all of you.
Jay & Family
