Hey Sally! Thanks for thinking of me and my family. My immediate family (brother and mother) are here in USA...thank goodness! Most if not all of the rest of my family live in Manila so they are likewise safe and were not affected by the typhoon.The devastation in the smaller islands is unimaginable though and we grieve with the helpless Filipino people there who didn't have much and yet everything they had was taken away.

Maria,
Is there any charity, other than the Red Cross, that is providing assistance? I would like to help in some way.
Thanks,
K
