I just watched Anderson Cooper interview a lady in Tacloban, Leyte, Philippines. She lost her husband and six children. The bodies of her husband and 2 children are right there on the ground, covered with plastic . She’s looking for the rest of the family. Then Cooper asks her where she’s going now… she answers there’s no place to go , then Cooper asks where will you sleep tonight, she answers, ” in the street”, her exact words. I burst into tears. She is clearly in shock. Numb. If you asked me what I’d do, I think I’d go to the sea and drown myself. I don’t think I can continue to live with these memories of my children and husband . I know it shows weakness in character….. I don’t know. I still believe I wouldn’t want to live anymore.
So please help. Go to any link… CNN has the best links. $ 20 can feed 50 people.

Hiya Ren!
It’s really, really sad! I’ve seen a few stories on the news and I’ll be donating soon! The UK has already sent £13 million pounds worth of aid! 🙂
If all my family had died I’d probably kill myself aswell, so you shouldn’t feel bad about it. They give us a reason to live, they’re not just our family but our best friends too! Makes me wonder how that lady and people like her are going to cope!
Is the CNN site secure for donations?

Phil, CNN is giving the sites where one can click Donate. CNN has assured donors the links have been vetted.
I hope they cope… for the rest of their lives. But if something like what happened to the woman who lost all her family happened to me…. I don’t know. I don’t think I can cope. I guess I’m weak.
Posted by DeadAnarchistPhil on November 13, 2013 at 7:39 pm
I’ll donate soon, mate. Just need to find my visa bank card which is at my Mam’s place on my messy desk there!
If you’re weak, then so am I! And I don’t believe we’re alone in thinking the way we do, I’m willing to bet there’s other’s too. When you’ve had all the meaning in your life taken away, what do you have left? It feels like a natural response. I’d like to think I could go on, but I’m not sure.

Any amount will do, Phil. Thanks.
That’s true. I wonder how her life will turn out after this.
Posted by DeadAnarchistPhil on November 15, 2013 at 3:38 pm
Hey Ren,
I donated £10 yesterday, not much but as you said it will help.
I forgot to ask, what damage was done to your holiday home that was being built and what also happened to the builder? Did they find him yet?

So heartbreaking….I have already donated. Thank you for this post. I am so terribly sorry. Hugz~

Thank you, Cindy !
I don’t know what the future has in store for them. I don’t even want to think about it.

It’s tragic. So much of this life is nothing but tragic. Thank you for sharing… My heart goes out to her — and all of those affected by the storms — too. 😦

It is We all know aid will stop soon. And sooner than we think. The Philippines is a poor country, so I don’t know what will happen to these people.
Posted by Jessica on November 15, 2013 at 8:16 pm
You are so right. I wish I had a lot of money to give.

Pleasure is entirely mine Renx 🙂 Switching jobs, so couldn’t do much… 😦

I’m so glad your family is safe. I hear that the aid stations in San Francisco are overflowing with donated clothes and goods but that what is needed is food and water.
Posted by renxkyoko on November 14, 2013 at 7:04 am
At the end of the day, what these good folks need are clothes, too.Oh, not only in SanFo… LA ‘s is bigger… I heard there’;s also a big one at Daly City.Tomorrow, we’re going to donate clothes and stuff here in our city. I fear this generosity will not last. The people will remain homeless… food donation will stop. That’s reality.

short, lovely post, Ren. yes, some people have it bad… hugs and regards, – your ate 🙂
Posted by Wendell A. Brown on November 14, 2013 at 11:11 am
Ren, we have donated and will continue…we will also pray that help comes worldwide to aid in their recovery, every loss is hard but it has nothing to do with character my sister…it’s a bond of love, i have lost two children in my life, and it is not a pleasant experience…you never truly recover from it but their images dance in my mind, my thoughts and dreams always, I still feel their love, their hugs and their spirits with me always! There are never words to express the sadness, loneliness that comes! But love will help heal the wounds. You have a genuine and selfless heart as many around the world…and they will help! God bless!

How do we even begin to grasp the pain and the anguish suffered by all those people?The scenes are absolutely heart-rending.

It’s such a terrible situation, so sad for all these poor people ! I re blogged this on Twitter !
Posted by Mitzie Mee on November 15, 2013 at 9:40 am
That’s such a sad story!
Posted by Will of Heart on November 16, 2013 at 4:00 pm
Yes Ren you are right, there are so many victims loss their homes and love ones, I guess this is the worst typhoon I ever witness… 😦
Posted by ~REBECCA DAWN~ on November 16, 2013 at 4:21 pm
We take every thing for granted, and when something so tragic as a natural disaster happens we are left bewildered and in agony. My heart goes out to the victims, they have no where to go and they lost their families!
My boss is donating money, and not only that, he is matching $2 dollars for every dollar we as crew, donate. I hope my co workers will be donating just like me, and not just shrug it off.
Hugs Ren!

Gut-wrenching stories. Thank you for being a voice on their behalf. (And the reminder to help.)
Posted by Peter Wells aka Countingducks on November 18, 2013 at 6:43 pm
I have helped I can tell you, and individual from the UK have collectively raised £ 33 Million or $ 53 which I’m quit proud of. I just hope they get the aid to those remote places soon, and people can start to rebuild their lives
Posted by readinpleasure on November 19, 2013 at 10:32 am
That is no weakness of character at all Ren. I would probably kill myself too. It’s really sad and we cannot explain it.
Posted by kenthinksaloud on November 20, 2013 at 6:53 pm
It’s all horrible and despairing. I feel for all the people left behind who have to carry on without their loved ones. Horrible, Just horrible. 😦

This is life so unpredictable. Wishing the victims all the best.
