When I saw this picture, it broke my heart. It reminded me of my husband as he carried the lifeless body of our son a few months back. I know our family's Christmas will be very different this year. I'm also sure a lot of families in Mindanao are in much worse situations. Along with prayers, I appeal to your kind hearts to help our brothers and sisters. Here are some of the organizations that you can contact:
Personally, I got in touch with One Meralco Foundation since this is easily accessible to me. For inquiries, contact 632-8301.
As for the rest, I just lifted from this site:
