My husband and I decided to help the Philippines with what we could here on our end, so we had a week-long donation drive for Haiyan relief, encouraging friends and family to send over cash donations. 100% of the proceeds of the donation drive were sent to Giving Children Hope in Buena Park, Ca (they send containers of relief goods and medical supplies to the Philippines through their counterparts), and to Dr. Bing Denolo-Chavez and family's donation drive for Capiz.
As "thank you" tokens to the donors, we let them choose a pack of pastries, and we delivered the free pastries to them this past week (see photos of some pastries here).
We would like to thank all of the participants to our donation drive, and we are hoping and praying that we all continue to help the people of the affected areas in the Philippines.
I heard someone say "let us make sending help a marathon, not a sprint...". I believe that they need more continuous help over there.
Again, thank you and God bless us all.
