"Not Tomorrow"

“Come here now – not tomorrow, now.”   - Philippines President Benigno Aquino Dear jay, On Friday, a super typhoon – some say the worst storm ever to hit land – barreled into the Philippines. Reports of the damage Typhoon Haiyan left behind are devastating. People stranded in trees, lifted there by the storm surge. Others buried alive under the rubble of collapsed buildings.  I need your help. If you can, please make an emergency contribution and support our relief efforts for families in the Philippines. It’s like deja vu. Witness accounts sound just like what we all heard after the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami. Seawater rushing into the streets. The water reaching 15 feet or higher in a matter of minutes. Some people were able to brace themselves, holding on to a building or tree. Others were not. People have nowhere to turn for help. They don’t know what to do. They have no water, no shelter.  Our team is en route to the area. The first thing they’ll do when they hit the ground is begin distributing relief items to families with things like water jugs, cooking sets, blankets and shelter kits. Meanwhile, they’ll assess survivors’ other critical needs and devise a plan for providing lifesaving water, shelter and food. Our team will focus its efforts in rural areas. It’s so important that we have you on-board. Will you make a donation now to provide lifesaving aid for survivors? A gift of $20, $50 or $100 – anything you can manage – will save lives. Thank you so much for your continued support. And please stay tuned for more relief updates from ARC. Sincerely, -Daniel Daniel Wordsworth President, American Refugee Committee P.S.
