Help for typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana) victims

The onslaught of typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana) left so many families homeless, without clean clothes, no food and clean water, and worse, lost their loved ones. I was devastated after reading the news and viewing photos online, I was disconnected from the outside world since I, too, was stranded at the airport. But we were more fortunate than the others who suffered and lost greatly from the flood. Casualties of the typhoon Ondoy is concentrated in Marikina, Pasig, Makati, San Juan, Manila and Quezon City.
