Imagine:

Your children missing, being forced to drink from typhoid-infested flood waters, having your children experience life-threatening diarrhea and fevers that without treatment could prove fatal, losing everything you own, having nothing at all to feed your loved ones for days on end, and looking into your child’s eyes, knowing you may not be able to provide for them.

Now, imagine your own life and how fortunate you are. How lucky you are to have clothes on your back, a warm bed, nourishing food, plenty of water, and the means to be on the internet at this very moment.

Help the victims of the flooding here in Manila. Help save lives.
