Want to give donations to the victims of Typhoon Frank but dont know how?

After the typhoon Frank hit the Philippines less than 2 weeks ago many Filipinos lost their loved ones and properties... At least 598 people have been killed by the typhoon as it dropped torrential rain that caused flooding and mudslides in the Philippines, this means that it could be one of the top ten tropical cyclones that have killed in the West Pacific ocean. In Iloilo province, 59 are reported killed and 40 missing. In Iloilo City, 30,000 people were forced onto rooftops when a nearby reservoir burst. In the Bicol Region, more than 200 thousand people sought temporary shelter from the typhoon. Meanwhile, as the storm passed through Metro Manila and its nearby provinces, it caused widespread brownout which lasted for hours. Also, due to destruction, the PAGASA name Frank was retired. But even after Frank left the Philippines the number of deaths and missing persons are still increasing...

We have a family friend who lives in Iloilo and people there needs your help! They dont have clean clothes to wear and no clean water to drink. So I am asking your kind heart to please donate your old clothes, shoes or any thing that you dont need... My sister sent me an email and told me that she sent text messages (to do some donations) to 10 or more of her friends and she only received a reply to 2 of her friends.. (how devastating!) If you are interested in donating please let me know and i will give you my sisters cel. no. Dont worry all your donations will be given to the right people! ;) A friend of ours would want to have a medical mission in Iloilo but he will need a big fund to make this happen.. so as for now they are seeking for your prayers and donations.

Thank you very much!
