PROJECT HELP PHILIPPINES | FLOODS

Over 120,000 people in the Philippines are in need, after devastating flash floods have drowned hundreds of people in two southern Philippine cities. Twelve hours of heavy rain from a tropical storm swelled rivers and sent walls of water crashing into homes in the Mindanao region late on Friday night, wiping out entire families while they slept.philippines-typhoon-victims-dead

Disaster relief agencies are being called to send disaster relief supplies immediately. The people of the Philipines are in desperate need of food, water, and medicine. Much of the flood devastation took place in a remote village, making the delivery of disaster relief supplies that much more difficult, but we at Help the Children are determined to get help to the Philippine flood victims. We encourage any and all donations to this urgent cause and thank you for your support.Philippines flood coffins
